Lovesick Japan
"Lovesick Japan" published on by Cornell University Press.
Lovesick Japan
In Lovesick Japan, Mark D. West explores an official vision of love, sex, and marriage in contemporary Japan. A comprehensive body of evidence-2,700 court opinions-describes a society characterized by a presupposed absence of physical and emotional intimacy, affection, and personal connections. In compelling, poignant, and sometimes horrifying court cases, West finds that Japanese judges frequently opine on whether a person is in love, what other…
Television and attitudes toward mental health issues
A television content analysis and survey of 419 community respondents supports the hypothesis that media stereotypes affect public attitudes toward mental health issues. A content analysis of network, prime‐time television demonstrates that portrayals are violent, false, and negative. The mentally disordered are portrayed as 10 times more likely to be a violent criminal than nonmentally disordered television characters. A survey demonstrates that…

Japanese Love Hotels
Losers
This article examines the lost property regime of Japan, which has one of the most impressive reputations in the world for returning lost property to its rightful owner, and compares it with that of the United States. Folk legend attributes Japanese lost-and-found success to honesty and other-regarding preferences. In this article, I focus on another possible explanation: legal institutions that efficiently and predictably allocate and enforce po…
The Tragedy of the Condominiums
This Article explores condominium recovery following the 1995 Kobe (Great Hanshin) Earthquake as a case study of law's role in facilitating collective action. The quake damaged more than 2,500 condominium complexes, leaving unit owners with the collective action problem of how to dispose of the property from among their options under the Japanese Condominium Law: restore, reconstruct, or sell. The evidence from Kobe, buttressed by (or at least no…
The Resolution of Karaoke Disputes
Commentators often assert that low levels of litigation in Japan are the result of either (a) social norms or (b) institutional and structural factors such as high litigation costs. This article examines another cause of nonlitigiousness: an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that handles many cases that might otherwise become lawsuits. While the system applies to all pollution disuptes, I examine a particular subset in detail: karaoke nois…
