This study aims to clarify a process of identity formation of interculturally married Japa-nese women living in a new culture,and the mechanism of "wavering"of the cultural iden-tity between an original and the new culture.The subjects are 16 middle-aged Japanese women married to Indonesian men living in Bari.The "Cultural Anthropological - Clinical Psychological Approach"(Suzuki&Fujiwara,1992;Suzuki,2000)was employed during the research period 1991 - 2006(mainly repeated interviews).It is inferred that identity crisis brought by a cultural contact reaches reintegration through psychological moratorium,and that the identity formed while living in Japan is spirally reconstructed at each cultural con-tact.Here,a cultural contact has two meaning: 1) a contact between the first (original) and the second culture; 2) a contact between acculturated self and the original culture(e.g.by visiting Japan temporally).Next,nationality change(a decision of domicile)and a rethinking of an old-age are considered as important life invents for identity formation in the middle-age.Furthermore,the mechanism of "wavering," of cultural identity between Japanese and Indonesian (Balinese) is hypothetically illustrated by a relationship between two cultures with time.Finally,it is suggested that cultural contacts make identity forma-tion process more complicated.
