| Summary/Abstract |
This study focuses on a comparison of the three most popular sakariba (entertainment districts) in Tokyo of the late 1920s and 1930s to highlight the new role of leisure in everyday life as Japan industrialized and urbanized. The comparison of Asakusa, Ginza and Shinjuku shows that even as Japan became a mass society, leisure practices and patterns became stratified and diversified. This stratification and diversification reflected class, age and cultural tastes. The three sakariba developed distinctive characters and attractions for consumers, raising challenges to mass culture critics' assumption that the rise of mass culture and commodity culture would lead to homogenization of taste and recreational products and a lack of consumer choice.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the late 1910s to early 1920s leaders in women's education sought to rationalize and modernize daily life through the promotion of 'domestic science'. Their writings, aimed at young educated middle class women, focused on ways to reform the running of their households to fit their changing roles as modern women and the changing conditions of Japanese society more generally. They assumed the sexual division of labour, but as reformers, they envisioned that middle class women would play a key role as household managers in the 'new era'. Following their instructions for efficient, scientific management of clothing, food and housing would ensure young women's social standing as exemplary middle class housewives, to the benefit of themselves personally as well as their families and the nation.
