Changing Christmas Foods in Japan: A Content Analysis of Television Cooking Programs

Abstract

This study explored how Christmas foods have changed, and relationship between the food dynamics and social change in Japan. We analyzed Christmas foods in television (TV) cooking programs from 1959 to 2019. The tracing of TV cooking programs shows that not only Christmas foods but also New Year foods have been changing over 50 years. Furthermore, the change relates to women’s gender-role attitude and media environment.
