Book Synopsis Ry?sai Kenbo by : Shizuko Koyama
Book excerpt: The famous ryosai-kenbo or 'good wife and wise mother' role of women was not, after all, a traditional Confucian view but a modern construct. In fact, its first appearance in Japan was in the latter half of the 19th century, due principally to the influence of European ideas about women.
