There were significant variations to this general pattern be found among peasant families throughout Japan during the Tokugawa and early Meiji periods. In certain areas the right of inheritance and succession to the family headship was held by the first born child regardless of sex (shoseishi sozoku). Under shoseishi sozoku, a female, if she happened to be the first born child, she took uxorilocal marrige, and received all or a major of the family property. Her younger brother, despite being the family's oldest son was either sent to another family as an adopted son (yoshi) or else was forced to form a branch family (bunke). This form was called ane katoku ("oldest sister headship") and remained in Tohoku and northern Kanto regions until roughly the middle of the Meiji period. In this study, we explained Ane-katoku in Higashidori village.}, pages = {167--202}, title = {姉家督相続の地域的なひろがり : 本州最北端・下北半島東通村を中心として}, volume = {16}, year = {1984} }
