Hikikomori is considered an increasingly prevalent form of social isolation in Japan. This book explores personal hikikomori experiences and explains how post-war Japanese social policy, which depends on corporations and families, has created several generations of isolated, family-dependent individuals in contemporary Japan.

Teppei Sekimizu is associate professor of sociology in the Faculty of Social Welfare at Rissho University, Japan, author of Sociology of Hikikomori Experience in Japanese, and coauthor of Sociology of Hikikomori and Their Family and the Hikikomori White Paper in Japanese.
