obasan (複数形 obasans)
- A Japanese middle-aged woman.
- 1913 March 6, The Japan Chronicle, old series, number 819; new series, number 583, Kobe, page 423:
- Some day Japanese women may be seen parading the streets bearing banners on which are written “Votes for Women,”—at least what appears to be a movement in this direction was inaugurated last week, says the Far East, when a public meeting for women was held at the Kanda Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of a woman’s periodical, the Blue-Stocking. […] Mere male creatures were allowed to be present, and curious University students who wanted to see what all the fuss was about were obliged to ask the obasans in their neighbourhood if they could seek their protection.
- 2004, Janice Valerie Young, Sweet Daruma: A Japan Satire, New York; Lincoln; Shanghai: iUniverse, Inc., →ISBN, pages 61–62:
- “Yeah,” September replied, “old woman. Push and shove. Often Tokyo obasans cut in line for everything and when they get caught they act innocent. They have power and they know it, like old-lady Morimoto, the drycleaner in our building. Geez, whoever designs obasan clothing should be arrested. Those tan shoes you’re wearing are revolting. I dressed up in those clothes for a Halloween party a few years back. But I didn’t look half as real as you.”
- 2011, Yuri Kageyama, The New and Selected Yuri: Writing From Peeling Till Now, Ishmael Reed Publishing Company/Xlibris, →ISBN, pages 107–108:
- Have you noticed what word the sales people at Shibuya 109, the Kiyoto “maiko” and night club hostesses use to refer to older women to avoid saying “obasan?” […] Miu: Oh, wasn’t there some minister who got in trouble for calling women “reproductive machines?” Me: Exactly. That mentality. There are lots of women in their 30s and older who truly dread being called “obasan.” If it hasn’t happened already, then it could happen any second. Horrors! Miu: Moment of metamorphosis. Society decrees you useless for preservation of the species. Me: I like being obasan. I am proud of being obasan. Miu: OK, obasan. Me: Obasan is a title that you earn as a woman when you grow older and wiser and better. […] Me: Women should be proud of being obasan. Miu: Of course. Me: Obasan Power! Miu: That’s a good way to put it. Me: But all you see in the Japanese media much of the time are obasans rushing to bargains, gossiping, taking flamenco lessons. Miu: What’s the solution? Me: I’m not sure. Data show Japanese women are choosing not to get married and not to have children, even if they do by some miracle get married.
- 2012, William Shurtleff and Akiko Aoyagi, compilers, History of Natto and Its Relatives (1405-2012): Extensively Annotated Bibliography and Sourcebook, Soyinfo Center, →ISBN, page 452:
- 2021, Harmony Becker, Himawari House, First Second, page 348:
- When I talk to the neighborhood obasans back home, I talk a lot more simply.
