1 Nenkan No Nari ((full)) Full | Haha To Kodomobeya Ojisan No

In Japan, the image of the haha —the mother—has long been idealized as the “shitsuji” (housekeeper) and “yōjo” (nurturer). While the post‑war era saw an increase in dual‑income families, the cultural script still positions mothers as primary managers of domestic spaces. This responsibility is not merely logistical; it is a moral undertaking, as scholars such as Mariko Ohnuki have argued, because the home is the first arena where children learn social norms, emotional regulation, and respect for order.
