Queer Japan
In this kaleidoscope look at LGBTQ+ culture in contemporary Japan, we see trailblazing artists, activists, and everyday people from across the spectrum of gender and sexuality daring to live unusual lives and defying social norms at the same time. From glittering pride parades to merrily twisted underground parties, Queer Japan paints a picture of people living boldly unusual lives in the light, the dark, and everywhere in between. Vivienne Sato, a stunning iconoclast who performs as a drag queen, reveals the inner workings of language and identity. Gengoroh Tagame, a maverick manga artist, takes his shamelessly sensual gay comics on tour across the world. The arduous journey that Councilwoman Aya Kamikawa took to become Japan's first transgender elected official is recounted here. Saeborg, a non-binary performance artist, utilizes rubber to build a second skin that she wears at the famed kink-positive hentai party Department H. Queer Japan is a collection of first-person accounts from a diverse range of people, culled from more than one hundred interviews carried out over the course of three years.
