This work offers a unique perspective on Japanese domestic life from the viewpoint of a native, contrasting with many contemporary writings that typically reflect Western views of Japan. The author explores various aspects of life in Tokyo, covering topics such as family structure, food customs, housing, and social etiquette.  The opening of the book presents the author's intention to provide a detailed description of daily life in Tokyo, highlighting the previous absence of native accounts on such homely matters. He emphasizes the importance of localization—focusing solely on Tokyo in order to capture the intricacies and peculiarities of urban life there. Inouye discusses Tokyo's emergence as the capital after the fall of the Shogunate, while addressing the city’s growth during the Edo period and the socio-political backdrop leading to its modern characteristics. The preface sets the tone for an enlightening exploration of how traditional Japanese customs interact with the inroads of modernization, a theme central to the book.
