Merger proposal
As these two articles discuss different aspects of the same topic, overlapping in places, they really ought to be merged. I personally prefer that this article title (Japanese family structure) be kept over the other (Japanese family) as it sounds a bit more specific, and more academic (sociological, anthropological). "Japanese family" seems a wider, broader, far more vague subject. LordAmeth (talk) 06:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Of course merge the two! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:51, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Merger proposal (2)
I propose merging Ie (Japanese family system) into Japanese family structure. —Tokek (talk) 11:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Please clarify meaning
The following sentence does not make sense, grammatically or otherwise.
"Family members may die under know circumstances"
Neither does it appear to be related to what follows...
"(1) persons socially recognized as being related in the family line, chokkei, in which successors, their spouses and possible successors are included, and (2) members socially recognized as being outside family members, bokei, under which all other family members, including relatives and servants, are grouped (Ariga, 1954)"
Can someone please shed light on this?
