다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Taisho Japan transformed into a full-blown modern society through the World War I. With rapid industrialization grew urban sectors and urban culture and lives had deep impact on the lives of the ordinary people. Among those affected were housewives. A growing number of women moved into cities as part of nuclear family and came to take the role of house-keeping very different from the traditional one. This article examined how the changes in women`s daily lives in cities affected the images of `ideal women`. In particular, Shufu no tomo was the most influenial media output for those urban house-wives. Articles in that magazine reflect the fact that Taisho Japan`s house-wives faced the task of learning and practicing new house-keeping knowledges and techniques. Shufu no tomo included a variety of informations and articles for house-keeping. One aspect of such articles is to promote the formation of the identity of modern house-wives by providing a new role for them. However, house-wives were obligated to keep the economic health of the family through thrifty managing of the household. They had to take care of family`s economy, children, and even things like fashionable clothing. These women were bound by their dutiful roles as `good house-wives.` In short, the newly formed identity was within the patriarchal notion of `Good Wife, Wise Mother.`
