Likely places of learning in Japan include folkcraft village pottery workshops, the clubhouses of female shellfish divers, traditional theaters, and the neighborhood public bath. The education of potters, divers, actors, and other novices generates identity within their specific communities of practice. In this volume, a collection of nineteen case studies of situated learning in such likely places, the contributors take apprenticeship as a fundamental model of experiential education in authentic arenas of cultural practice. Together, the essays demonstrate a rich variety of Japanese pedagogical arrangements and learning patterns, both historical and contemporary. All cases respond to the call for a new focus on "situated learning", an educational anthropology of the social relations and meanings of educational process.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book makes several kinds of contributions...[and] is likely to fuel theoretical advances regarding the nature of situational learning." Catherine Lewis, Journal of Japanese Studies
"...offer an interesting contrast, not only in disciplinary perspective, but also in the way in which these descriptions of learning are painted on quite different cultural backdrops. These two books, carefully studied, can serve to broaden our view of the possibilities. I recommend them for that purpose." Teaching and Learning Medicine

Book Description
In this collection of nineteen case studies, edited by John Singleton, the contributors describe the transferral of knowledge and practice within particular communities of Japanese artisans, workers, artists, musicians, and professionals. Together, the essays aim to demonstrate the rich variety of pedagogical arrangements and learning patterns, both historical and contemporary, through which the Japanese pass on both cultural and practical knowledge.
