AbstractThis essay explores the division between 'things Japanese' and 'things foreign' in contemporary Japanese life through an analysis of modern retailing. Japanese department stores domesticate 'foreign things', including customs, holidays, goods, and people, by creating for these meaning consistent with the existing fabric of Japanese culture. Their role in gift-exchanges, in the adoption of foreign holidays and in establishing special advocacy centers for foreigners reinforces the distinction between 'Japanese' and 'other' that shapes and affirms Japanese identity (economy, national identity, symbolism, popular culture, gift-exchange, Japan).
