The Annual Review of Sociology, 26(26) 17-27, Oct, 2013 Peer-reviewedThis paper deals with practices against the risks from a disaster two years after the March 11th Great East Japan Earthquake. Setting the scene in a temporary housing agglomeration in Kesennuma, a devastated coastal city, I have been collecting longitudinal narratives of local people who are building a new community in a temporary village. I have also continued to observe the philosophy, know-how, and management of an NPO running this temporary village's community center. Following their experience of social care after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, the NPO developed methods to detect the symptoms of depression, alcohol-dependency, and solitude. The prevalence of various techniques to tackle the risks caused by having to endure shelter life over a long period illustrates Japan's progress in being able to form a resilient society. In addition, at the end of the paper, I shall try to identify factors that contribute to enhancing a community's ability to accept outside support.

Jan, 2025 (ISBN: 9781036200763)Though rich, diverse, unique and engaging, Japan's sociological outputs have been internationally underrepresented. In its thoughtful translation and curation of key Japanese sociological texts, this book redresses this imbalance and treads exciting new ground. Comprising 17 chapters spanning 7 decades, this text introduces you to fundamental themes, from classical studies in post-war Japan to contemporary sociological issues like migration politics, social mobility and gender-based violence. Key Texts for Japanese Sociology is an original, much-needed resource, empowering a foundational, confident understanding of the national, regional and local traditions of Japanese sociology from the latter half of the last century to today.
