概要	Managing household waste is perhaps the most externally visible form of housework. In Japan, garbage disposal is a public and highly visible activity because in most municipalities garbage is collected from a communal pickup site and must be disposed of in transparent bags. In some locations, residents are requested or required to write their family names on the bags, making garbage disposal even less anonymous. It is often pointed out that garbage disposal in Japan is a public activity that can lead to social sanction. On the other hand, by properly sorting their garbage, residents – particularly housewives – can communicate that they understand and respect the rules of their community. In this way, household waste disposal becomes emblematic of a particularly gendered form of community belonging.
