This article examines the ways in which Amish life and society are discussed in Japanese books. The Amish are a religious and cultural minority group living mainly in the United States and Canada. Most people in Japan have little or no historical and cultural ties to them. However, many Japanese books have been written about the Amish. An examination of these books indicates that in comparison with English scholarly books about the Amish, Japanese books discuss this group’s cultural and social context more explicitly. This article argues that through such discussions, Japanese books not only explain that Amish society and community life are different from that of Japan’s, but also offer useful insights for Japanese readers.
