No. 3, 169-180 (2002) The Family in Modern Japan: its Past, Present and Future An Essay at Restoring Love as the Basis of Family Ties YAMANE Naoko Nihon University, Graduate School of Social and Cultural Studies In modern Japan, where did the forms of our family life come from? Where do we find ourselves in family relations at the present stage of history? And whither are we going in search for ideal family ties? In this article I make an attempt to trace our family system and our notion of family life in their historical development and changes in modern Japan. And an analysis is made of the situations, social and economic, in which Japanese women have been forced to place themselves. Probing into the problems of the family, I find that such notions as love and conviviality are still to be examined in their productive implications on a more universal perspective of thought than ever, and in a social philosophical context in connection with, say, a perennial question of metabolism between humans and nature.
