- Synopsis
- In this essay the author presents the principles of one important sector of social organization in Japan, and establish its framework.

In this essay, the author, as a social anthropologist, want to overcome these drawbacks of anthropological method, and to demonstrate one of the new approaches by which an anthropologist can cope with the data from a sophisticated society
