The purpose of this study is to examine the cultural identities of interculturally-married women who had moved to their spouses'countries in their early adulthood, as well as those of intercultural children who have interculturally-married parents. In addition, the state of being “bicultural persons” is discussed. The participants are 42 interculturally-married women (middle and late adulthood) living in their spouses'countries (22 Japanese, and 20 Asian and Western women married to Japanese men), and 10 Japanese-German youths living in Germany with Japanese mothers and German fathers. The CACPA (Suzuki & Fujiwara, 1992; etc.) or semi-constructed interviews are mainly employed. The results suggest the following: The interculturally-married women feel they have an “identity like those of others living in their home country” as the base of their identities, and that identity is maintained throughout their lives. However, both cultures “blend” with time. Namely, they become “bicultural persons” in the meaning that “they master two cultures and can use them in actual action”. On the other hand, the intercultural children have partly mixed “plural cultures” as the base of their identities. Therefore, it is inferred that they can be“true bicultural persons”. However, there are various states of being “bicultural persons”, depending on the individual international children.
