Research Abstract

Parents living in Kaneyama village and their adult children living in other towns, is functioning really. This function is bilateral. That relationship is definitely helping in farming from children to parents and in care of old parents or ground children, supporting mentally and economically by bilaterally, and this relationship is unstable and transitional, and have a tendency to vanish. This feature was conformed as following fact. That is old parents lived in Kaneyama moved and settled with their children in other places during winter. This is "Metamorhpose" of an extended family.
