Description

This report aims to clarify the fluctuation of separate spheres between the public and the private that social science after modern premised. Specifically, this paper examines it through fieldwork to housewives of the handmade group “Sakka-san” through the research question why they can sell their handmade craft. This paper presents how they discover their resources in the private sphere and how they stand in the market and maintain relations within the group and between companions. Accordingly, this paper highlights how “Sakka-san” protrudes without realizing the boundary of the separate spheres.<br>Furthermore, I focus on not only their name “Sakka-san” but also on the low price of their work. Their name alludes to their motto that is “less than professional but more than amateur”.<br>Although “Sakka-san” is comprised of housewives, they sell their work. For that reason, the framework of the separation between the public and private spheres cannot capture them. On the other hand, it cannot be said that they are free from the both of spheres. They are placed in subordination because of gender. No matter how creative and autonomous society they are, they intend to indicate the alternative to overturn the conventional labor model.
