Description

K. Ariga’s most important book, “The Family System and the Farm Tenant System in Japan” was published in 1943. This book was a revised edition of “Studies on Rural Society in Japan” published in 1938. In this revised edition, Ariga adapted a lot of new keywords and added large amount of sentences. By this revision, the new book become a voluminous work of more than 700 pages.<br> 　　　In this article, we examined the details of this revision and shed light on the basic plan by which Ariga’s historical theory on the farm tenant system was reorganized into the more advanced theory of the social structure in Japan that was based on “dozoku” concept.<br> 　　　In the original book, “Studies on Rural Society in Japan,” Ariga used a method of folklore studies established by Kunio Yanagita and his main subject was a historical analysis of the landlord tenant farmer system. On the contrary, in the new edition, Ariga adopted a sociological method based on the dozoku theory and tried to examine the national character of Japanese by the sociological analysis of rural societies.
