metadata.value: The paper focuses on the study of the image of Japanese mothers in modern Japanese society
  in the context of rethinking the traditional way of life. In the course of the research, there was
  made an attempt to establish what underlies the value model of modern Japanese women
  and to analyze the degree of influence of habitual traditional gender stereotypes. The author
  considers the phases of the formation of the family institution in Japan and states that the
  principles of Confucian ethics, manifested in the presence of moral norms of behavior, attitudes
  and prescriptions, can be traced in the minds of modern Japanese. However, in the
  conditions of accelerated socialization of women and the ongoing process of atomization of
  families, the burden of responsibility from traditional expectations put on a woman increases,
  leading to adverse consequences in the form of “neuroses in the background of raising children”.
  The article discusses the changes in the structure of female employment over the past
  decades, in order to identify problems associated with the distribution of gender roles and the
  changing position of Japanese women in society. As a result of the study, it was suggested that
  despite the tendency in Japan to shift the value model towards individualism, the features of
  traditional family ideology are preserved, as evidenced by the presence of numerous proverbs
  and idioms of the Japanese language dedicated to family relationships and based on Confucian
  ethics. In such a society, social roles and labor functions are still divided and consolidated, the
  observance of the hierarchy is maintained, despite the disintegration of traditional ties, social
  division, separation from the clan and large family groups.
