Music is a frequently neglected aspect of Japanese culture. It is in fact a highly problematic area, as the Japanese actively introduced Western music into their modern education system in the Meiji period (1868-1911), creating westernized melodies and instrumental instruction for Japanese children from kindergarten upwards.

The privately rented housing market has largely catered for young, mobile people and students since it was deregulated in the late 1980s. In this volume, the editors provide a timely insight into this rapidly evolving market, asking: What is the nature of this market?
