  Ie (Japanese family system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ie (家), or "household," was the basic unit of Japanese law until the end of World War II: most civil and criminal matters were considered to involve families rather than individuals.
The "ie" is considered to consist of grandparents, their son and his wife and their children, although even in 1920, 54% of Japanese households already were nuclear families.
The system was formally abolished with the 1947 revision of Japanese family law under the influence of the Allied occupation authorities, and Japanese society began a transition to a more Americanized nuclear family system.

The Japanese cognition of 'brain death' has, over the last thirty years, been formed mainly through public debates because of the antagonism between those for and those against the acceptance of brain death.
However, these cultural theories have so contributed to the molding of Japanese cultural identity, that scholars of Japanese culture such as Befu (1987) claim that those cultural hypotheses should be understood in relation to the mass consumption of goods, the political economy, and similar forms of ideological influence.
Accordingly, the concept of Japanese "traditions": either of which connotes "underdeveloped" or "cultural heritage"; becomes a key concept to explain such a situation as Japanese reluctance of approval of organ donation from a brain dead person because it was eventually regarded as a difference in outlook from that of Euro-American.

 Liaw: Distinctive Features of the Sex Ratio of Japanís Interprefectural Migration: An Explanation Based on the ...
In the context of the general trends towards gender equality in major socioeconomic factors in Japan and other industrialised countries, this paper highlights and explains three distinctive features in the temporal pattern of the sex ratio of Japan's interprefectural migrants since the 1950s: a high level, an upward trend, and systematic fluctuations around the trend.
The high level is explained by the base camp nature and the motherly principle of the Japanese family system, as well as the properties of the tightly-knit groups that have been the basic functioning units of Japanese society.
The upward trend is explained by a weakening of the Confucian superstructure and a strengthening of the motherly principle in the Japanese family system.
