This book provides an overview of the Japanese sex industry in the
years of Japan's postwar economic boom. It argues that the origins
of gender inequality in contemporary Japan resulted from the
policies put in place during this period, when there was instituted
a "sexual contract" which provided male salarymen whose work was
arduous, underpaid and subject to military-like organisation with
easy access to women's bodies, through workplace getaway trips to
hot springs resorts, hostess bars, and prostitution tourism to
South Korea, as sexual inducement to acquiesce to their own
exploitation. Japan's economic growth, the book thereby contends,
came at the price not just of environmental and labour degradation,
but also gender inequality.
