This work explores the evolving views on sexuality in Japan, tracing its history from the era of concubines and geishas to contemporary times. It highlights the cultural differences between Japan and the West, noting that sex has often been more openly discussed and accepted in Japan. This openness is largely attributed to Shinto, the native religion, which embraces and honors the sensual aspects of life. The book provides a comprehensive look at how Japanese culture has shaped attitudes toward sex and sexuality, making it a unique subject of study.
