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.
