John Trafagan's research focuses on the phenomenon of old age in rural Japan. The author demonstrates how concepts associated with aging are socially constructed and culturally constrained. He provides an insightful overview of aspects of Japanese society that contribute to people's concerns about aging and illness, including culturally specific fears, as well as demographic and social changes that threaten traditional norms of care for older people.
