概要 Japan is undergoing rapid demographic change as both the number and diversity of foreign residents increase, prompting policy responses framed through tabunka kyōsei (multicultural coexistence), a framework that emphasizes harmonious living and pragmatic accommodation of cultural and linguistic diversity. Despite its prominence, tabunka kyōsei has been widely criticized for lack of conceptual coherence and uneven institutional implementation. Against this backdrop, this study poses the guiding research question: Can Japan learn from Hawaiʻi in shaping its multicultural future? Rather than assessing policy effectiveness or advocating policy transfer, the study adopts an analytical approach by developing a conceptual framework that contrasts multicultural hybridity with multicultural complexity.
