Japanese Family
The family is called in Japanese. It's basically composed of a couple as is the family in other societies. The Japanese family is based on the line of descent and adoption. Ancestors and offspring are linked together by an idea of family genealogy, or ''keizu'', which does not mean relationships based on mere blood inheritance and succession, but rather a bond of relationship inherent in the maintenance and continuance of the family as an institution. In any given period of history, all family members have been expected to contribute to the perpetuation of the family, which is held to be the highest duty of the member. History A great number of family forms have existed historically in Japan, from the matrilocal customs of the Heian. As official surveys conducted during the early years of the Meiji dynasty demonstrated, the most common family form during the Edo ( Tokugawa) period was characterized by patrilocal residence, stem structure, and patrilineal primogeniture, so a ...

Ie (Japanese Family System)
''Ie'' is a Japanese term which translates directly to household. It can mean either a physical home or refer to a family's lineage. It is popularly used as the "traditional" family structure. The physical definition of an ie consists of an estate that includes a house, rice paddies and vegetable gardens, and its own section in the local cemetery. The symbolic definition of ie has been referred to as the cultural medium for the physical processes of kinship, such as mating and procreation. The symbolic ie refers not only to blood lines, however, but also to economic and socioreligious functions that take place within the family. Family registration and status The ie is a patriarchal household and is considered to consist of grandparents, their son, his wife and their children. In a "traditional" Japanese household, the eldest son inherits the household property as well as the responsibility of taking care of his parents as they age.

Honke
The is the main household of Japanese family. It is part of the system of family branching that establishes a multiplied structure to create familial relationships. The head of a household and his successor reside in the ''honke'', while collateral branches establish '' bunke''. The genealogical relationship between ''honke'' and ''bunke'' is determined by the ''ie'' family system. The ''honke'' establishes the new branch family while ''bunke'' is linked to it since both are part of the ''ie''. They can be described in terms of vertical relationships where the branch is subordinated to the main household. This system also determines how the access to resources is ordered. The honke-bunke relationship can be demonstrated in the case of the imperial household, which is said to have descended from its founder Amaterasu-omikami. Her grandson Ninigi-no-Mikoto is the ''honke'' while the other branches of the family or those distantly related members of the household are the ''b ...

Koseki
A or family register is a Japanese family registry. Japanese law requires all Japanese households (basically defined as married couples and their unmarried children) to make notifications of their vital records (such as births, adoptions, deaths, marriages and divorces) to their local authority, which compiles such records encompassing all Japanese citizens within their jurisdiction. Marriages, divorces by mutual consent, acknowledgements of paternity of non-marital children and adoptions (among others) become legally effective only when such events are recorded in the ''koseki''. Births and deaths become legally effective as they happen, but such events must be filed by family members or other persons as allowed by law. Loss of Japanese or foreign nationalities have to be recorded in the ''koseki'', too. Format There are two main types of certified copies of ''koseki'': the Comprehensive Copy of ''Koseki'' (戸籍謄本, ''koseki tōhon'') and Selected Copy of ''Koseki'' ( ...
