Fukuoka's eight categories of Japanese-ness

pure Japanese (lineage, culture, nationality), first generation migrants (lineage, culture), Japanese raised abroad (lineage, nationality), naturalized Japanese (culture, nationality), 3rd generation emigrants and war orphans abroad (lineage), Zanichi Koreans with Japanese upbringing (culture), ainu (nationality), and non-Japanese

Furthermore, his defo. for "Japanese culture" is pretty meaningless because its such a complex, contrasting, and social-constructed term.
