- This book uses primary sources which were collected through multi-sited ethnography in Japan and China from 2007 to 2013. The research was conducted in two languages and the researcher was able to engage in participant observation at private transnational matchmaking meetings, weddings, and matchmaking parties. This is one of the few books that include perspectives from both men and women from Japan and China in its analysis. Based on this long-term comprehensive research, the book provides a new perspective on marriage migration, colonial memories in East Asia, and gender relations in both Japan and China.
