Preferred term

intentional communities in Japan  

Definition

  • The ability of many Japanese to integrate gracefully into all sorts of groups has often been noted. This is true for work-related groups such as companies that often put high demands on their employees, and it is also true for voluntary organizations such as parentteacher associations or neighborhood associations, which are an important part of local social life throughout Japan.
