面对传统家庭的衰落和65岁以上人口的爆炸性增长，日本人正在寻找新的方式来照顾他们的老人。这一研究记录了日本一个重要的社会现象--计划退休社区的诞生。20世纪80年代中期，木下康仁在日本第一个这样的社区富士佐藤生活了一年。与Christie W.基弗是一位文化老年学家，他是第一个对非西方文化中的退休社区进行详细研究的人。富士佐藤是一个没有明显传统的社会团体。木下和基弗表明，日本居民对长期关系的偏好，创造了创造关系的需要，这种关系在日本社会中没有先例。这本书揭示了很多关于日本文化，以及困扰亚洲新兴工业化国家的“社会老龄化”。它关于对老年人价值观的敏感性和清晰沟通的必要性的教训在其他文化中也有重要的应用。
Faced with the decline of the traditional family and the explosive growth of the over-65 population, the Japanese are looking for new ways to care for their elders. This timely study documents the birth of a major social phenomenon in Japan--the planned retirement community. In the mid-1980s, Yasuhito Kinoshita spent a year living in Japan's first such community, Fuji-no-Sato. His collaboration with Christie W. Kiefer, a cultural gerontologist, is the first detailed study of a retirement community in a non-Western culture. Fuji-no-Sato is a social community with no visible traditions. Kinoshita and Kiefer show that its residents' preference for long-established relationships creates the need for the invention of relationships that have no precedent in Japanese society. This book reveals much about Japanese culture, and about the "graying of society" that plagues the newly industrialized countries of Asia. Its lessons about sensitivity to the elderly's values and the need for clear communication have important applications in other cultures as well.
