Focusing on the concept of sharehouses in Japan, the book delves into how these communal living spaces serve as a microcosm for social change and identity formation. Emerging from the 2007 'sharehouse boom', these homes offer an alternative to traditional family living, fostering new social interactions and identities among residents. Through detailed ethnography, it examines the dynamics of everyday life within these unique environments, highlighting their role in reshaping personal and communal relationships.
