About this book

A newborn's naming, family visits and first temple ceremony begin Alice Mabel Bacon's account of women's lives in Japan. From these early rituals, the book moves through education, marriage, motherhood and old age, then considers court households, samurai families, peasant work and domestic service. Its chapters connect the arrangements of the home with the wider social customs that shape a woman's responsibilities.

Bacon's observations include women planting and weeding rice fields, gathering mountain firewood and carrying heavy loads near Kyoto. She also describes older women on religious pilgrimages and gifts of hair made to help build a temple. In her prefaces, Bacon credits Japanese women friends for sharing their experience and names Ume Tsuda as a contributor to the manuscript's revision. These details make the book useful for readers studying everyday labor, belief and family customs, while the author's stated limits invite attention to the observer's perspective.
