Summary: | "An intimate glimpse into the queer world behind the closed doors of modern Japanese society. The LGBTQ community in Japan has faced its challenges. Even as some religious and warrior orders have a long and recognised tradition of same-sex love, to be considered different, to be the nail that sticks out, makes coming out difficult. Even as there remains a conservative strain within Japanese society that prefers the LGBTQ community to remain unseen and that deprives them of a respected voice and legal rights, 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 and open part of society. Edges of the Rainbow is a photographic celebration of the queer community in Japan. In a series of portraits, acclaimed photographers Michel Delsol and Haruku Shinozaki have brought together a fascinating group of individuals creating an unforgettable and uplifting look at a proud and resilient community on the margins of Japanese society." -- Provided by publisher.
