Queer Japan
This kaleidoscopic look at LGBTQ+ culture in modern Japan shows how artists, activists, and regular people from across the spectrum of gender and sexuality defy social norms and dare to live lives that aren't the same as everyone else's. Queer Japan shows people living outlandishly different lives in the light, in the dark, and everywhere in between. There are pictures of shiny pride parades and playfully perverse underground parties. Vivienne Sato, a drag queen who is both stunning and rebellious, peels back the layers of language and identity. Gengoroh Tagame is a daring manga artist who tours the world with his erotic gay comics. Councilwoman Aya Kamikawa talks about how hard it was for her to become the first transgender elected official in Japan. At the legendary kink-positive hentai party Department H, non-binary performance artist Saeborg uses rubber to make a second skin. Queer Japan is a collection of people's own words about their lives, taken from more than 100 interviews done over 3 years.
