This volume contests the culturalist view of Japan as being in the thrall of weak legal consciousness and consumerism, which has persisted in the wake of environmental disasters such as the mercury poisonings in Minamata in the 1950s.
Developing insights from a number of disciplines and with a details analysis of legislation, case law and academic theory, Product Safety and Liability Law in Japan contributes significantly to the understanding of contemporary Japan, its consumers and its law. It is also of practical use to all professionals exposed to product liability regimes evolving in Japan and other major economies.
