Exploring the histories of diverse households during the Tokugawa period in Japan (1603-1868), the essays in this book draw on rich sources--population registers, legal documents, personal archives, and popular literature--to combine accounts of collective practices (such as the adoption of heirs) with intimate portraits of individual actors (such as a murderous wife).ous wife).
