About this book

This book is an ethnography of a Japanese white-collar workplace in Osaka carried out during the late 1990s. It explores the relevance of social models to the analysis of social relations and women's status in the workplace by examining concepts of time, ritual, and space via the theory of practice.

Reviews

'There is no doubt that Kurihara has made an important contribution to the continuing discussion on changing Japanese workplaces.' Oxford Journals
