Queer Japan
In this kaleidoscope perspective of LGBTQ+ culture in contemporary Japan, trailblazing artists, activists, and everyday people from across the gender and sexuality spectrum break traditional norms and dare to live unusual lives. Queer Japan depicts people living boldly unusual lives in the sunlight, the shadows, and everywhere in between, from gleaming pride parades to gleefully wicked subterranean parties. Vivienne Sato, a stunning, iconoclastic drag queen, rips back the layers of language and identity. Gengoroh Tagame, a maverick manga artist, travels the world with his shamelessly sexy gay comics. Councilwoman Aya Kamikawa discusses her difficult journey to becoming Japan's first transgender elected official. Non-binary performance artist Saeborg uses rubber to construct a second skin at the famed kink-positive hentai club Department H. Queer Japan offers hundreds of people discussing their stories in their own words, culled from 100+ interviews conducted over three years.
