Gift-Giving in Japan: Cash, Connections, Cosmologies

Gift-giving is extremely important in Japanese society, not only at personal and household levels, but at the national and macroeconomic levels as well. This book is the first in English to document the extraordinary scale, complexity, and variation of giving in contemporary Japan.

Gift-Giving in Japan is based on eighteen months' fieldwork in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as short-term research in other parts of Japan. The core of the study is the experience of family representatives of different ages, classes, genders, occupations, neighborhoods, and religions. The author also interviewed experts, including the author of gift-giving etiquette books, Buddhist and Shinto priests, department store and funeral home employees, and workers at Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market. She participated in neighborhood festivals, election rallies, house-building rites, and other ceremonies of which gift-giving was an integral part.

Recent anthropological interest in drawing a strong contrast between commodities and gifts both reflects and reinforces the conception of the gift as part of the giver and the related distinction between the realm of the gift and the realm of the marketplace. The author argues that Japanese practices of giving and receiving challenge assumptions related to this idea of the gift.

Gift Giving From Him to Her ( What Every Woman Wishes He Knew About Gifts) (What Everyone Wishes He Knew About Gifts)

Finally there is a book to help men solve the gift giving dilemma. It covers everything from practical tips to inside information on women's gift fantasies. The authors Georgia Meredith and Rita Rochte spent three years exploring the gift adventures and misadventures of men, women, and couples of all ages. They concluded that both sexes need some insight and tools to make gift giving more satisfying. They reveal women's secret scripts about gifts to help men understand why romance and fantasy need to be part of their thinking when they select a gift. They give men advise on how to make a more romantic present, how to write a heart-felt note, how to handle last minute emergencies. Women are encourage to be more forth-coming with their hints, to thank with more enthusiasm, and to erase some confusing myths. (If he really loved he would KNOW what I'd like.) They remind couples to talk about their own family experiences and expectation connected to presents. Gift Giving from Him to Her becomes a handy reference as well as a step toward reducing disappointments connected to many gift occasions.

God's Gift Giving: In Christ and Through the Spirit

Hans Urs von Balthasar once said that theology should be done on one's knees, suggesting that the attitude it should create in the reader or hearer is one of adoration and praise for the divine mystery. Few contemporary theologians achieve this effect, but here Kevin Seasoltz comes close.

God's Gift Giving is a profound but simply written mediation on the central mysteries of the Christian faith--the trinity, redemption, the eucharist, human participation in the divine life and solidarity with one another--in a contemporary idiom. It begins with the notion of gift giving, which ever since Marcel Mauss's Essai sur le don has been the subject of intense discussion among ethicists, cultural anthropologists, and political scientists, as well as among philosophers like Jacques Derrida and theologians like Jean-Luc Marion. Seasoltz takes up these contemporary notions of gift giving and teases out various facets of the divine gifts of word and sacrament, of the Spirit, of communion and community. As Seasoltz says in one summary sentence: "The mystery of the Trinity is made accessible to us above all in the eucharist, for it is there in a special and ongoing way that we are drawn into the very life of God and into the lives of each other."
