Descrizione
Riassunto:This multidisciplinary book analyses the contradictory coexistence of consumerism and environmentalism in contemporary Japan.

Special attention is paid to the changes in consumption practices and environmental consciousness among the Japanese public that have occurred since the 1990s and in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters of March 2011.
