Genders, Transgenders and

Sexualities in Japan

Despite over a century of academic research into Japan and its customs, many

inaccurate preconceptions about Japanese society remain, particularly regarding

Japan’s complex sex and gender system. Genders, Transgenders and Sexualities

in Japan is the ﬁrst collection to take a genuinely comparative look at the changing

notions of gender and sexuality in Japan, highlighting the diversity that has long

existed among Japanese people.

Based on extensive Japanese language materials and fieldwork, the authors

examine how various nonconformist individuals have questioned received notions

about sex and gender. From young women opposed to marriage, to heterosexual

men who wish to be more involved in family life, the essays investigate the variety

and complexity of Japanese people’s experiences relating to traditional gender

roles. In addition, the personal histories of feminist women, gay men, lesbians and

transgender individuals are considered as these groups increasingly work together

to challenge what it means to be a responsible citizen of modern Japan.

Featuring chapters written by key Japanese and Western scholars, Genders,

Transgenders and Sexualities in Japan gives an overview of the important changes

taking place in gender and sexuality studies. Including essays on previously

overlooked histories, identities and communities, this illuminating collection will

be of interest to students and researchers in the ﬁelds of Asian studies, anthropology

and sexuality and gender studies.

Asia’s Great Cities

Each volume aims to capture the heartbeat of the contemporary city from multiple perspect-

ives emblematic of the authors’ own deep familiarity with the distinctive faces of the city,

its history, society, culture, politics and economics, and its evolving position in national,

regional and global frameworks. While most volumes emphasize urban developments since

the Second World War, some pay close attention to the legacy of the longue durée in shaping

the contemporary. Thematic and comparative volumes address such themes as urbanization,

economic and financial linkages, architecture and space, wealth and power, gendered

relationships, planning and anarchy, and ethnographies in national and regional perspective.
