Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to disclose the relationships among Japanese prefectures in the marriage by using asymmetric multidimensional scaling. The analysis was done by external multidimensional scaling where the location of each prefecture was given externally. The data consist of frequencies of the marriage between any two prefectures from 2001 to 2005. The two-dimensional solution was derived which represented asymmetric relationships among prefectures. The result shows that the female of prefectures neighboring Tokyo has the smaller tendency of getting married to the male from the other prefectures.
