Summary

The LGBTQ community in Japan has faced its challenges. Even some religious and warrior orders have a long, recognised tradition of same-sex love, to be considered different, to be "the nail that sticks out", makes coming out difficult. yet despite the conservative strain within Japanese society that encorages the LGBTQ community to remain unseen, a welcome change is happening on the ground. A number of queer cultural figures are opening up new horizons, and a growing majority of Japanese people believe that homosexuality should be an integral part of our society. Part of a beautiful, groundbreaking series of photobooks that look at LGBTQ communities around the world, Edges of the Rainbow is a photographic celebration of the queer community in Japan
