Abstract
Currently, Chinese women account for the largest number of foreign wives, while Chinese men rank the third among foreign husbands in Japan. This review examines how international marriage between Chinese and Japanese couples in contemporary Japan has been conceptualized in the academic literature. It demonstrates that there is a noticeable tendency to focus on Chinese women living in rural or peripheral regions of Japan who are of lower socio-economic backgrounds, using small non-randomized samples. Few studies pay attention to men and the mixed heritage children born to Japanese-Chinese couples. This review concludes by highlighting that the existent literature has been framed within gender, class, and ethnicity-based inequalities.
