Contents

This book began life as a PhD thesis, awarded by the University of East Anglia in 2010. I am immensely indebted to a number of people who have encouraged and advised me during the course of my research. First and foremost, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Steven Cherry, a supervisor as helpful and insightful as one could wish for. His unstinting support, unwavering encouragement and immense store of knowledge, as well as constructive criticism, unquestionably contributed to refining the dissertation on which this book is based. I am most grateful to him. My examiners, Pat Thane and Jill Robinson, both offered encouragement, as well as advice and criticisms, which helped me to take the research further. I would like to thank Pat Thane in particular for her continuing support and her belief in this project.

I wish to acknowledge and thank all those who participated in my fieldwork research in Norfolk, United Kingdom and Ogaki City, Japan. They willingly offered their time and hospitality and contributed positively and enthusiastically to my research. I regret that it has been possible to use only a fraction of the material they provided. I am also grateful to many archivists and librarians for their help with identifying and accessing the documents, particularly in Norfolk Record Office, Norfolk Heritage Centre, Gifu Record Office and Gifu Public Library. Special thanks are due to Adult Social Services (now Community Services) of Norfolk County Council for granting me accelerated access to materials, which are subject to a fifty-year restriction or still held at the County Hall archives; and to the staff at Yorokaen and Kusunokien homes in Ogaki, for allowing me to access documents kept privately on the premises.

My thanks are also due to the Leverhulme Trust, who provided a postdoctoral fellowship which enabled me to undertake the revisions that were needed to prepare the dissertation for publication. I would also like to record my very sincere thanks to the Institute of Gerontology, Kings College London for appointing me to a fellowship, and for providing so stimulating and supportive an environment in which to work. I am deeply grateful to Ruth Willats for her meticulous help in preparing the manuscript of this book for publication.

I would like to express my genuine thanks to all those friends who have helped in a variety of ways to facilitate my work. A special debt of gratitude is owed to Claire and Martin Daunton, who have taken a generous interest in my study and provided me with encouragement, valuable advice and research material. Above all, my thanks must go to my parents and sisters for their constant support and encouragement and unfailing interest in my study throughout. I hope that this book goes some way towards repaying them. Finally, the book originated in my experiences of caring, along with my family, for my grandfather, Toneo Hayashi, during the last years of his life until he passed away in 2005, aged 84 years. I dedicate the book to him.
