AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source contains the chapters from Norbeck's book which deal with the hamlet of Takashima. Chapter 2 describes the life of a household in the predominantly fishing hamlet of ca. 1950-1951. Chapter 4, based on field work conducted in 1974, describes the same community after land reclamation and industrialization changed it from an island to a suburb of the city of Kurashiki. These changes involved the complete disappearance of fishing as the main source of employment. The author concentrates on the lives of members of a single household.
