This book explores censorship, particularly film and video
censorship, in Japan in modern times. It shows how most censorship
has been the film and video industry exercising self-censorship and
how this system has been problematic in that it has allowed
dominant players in the industry to impose their own standards and
exclude independent filmmakers. It outlines notable obscenity cases
and discusses how industry self-censorship bodies have been
undermined both by industry outsiders setting up their own
alternative regimes and by the industry self-censorship bodies
themselves being prosecuted for obscenity. The book also examines
the conflict between the obscenity law, introduced in Meiji times
when Japan was importing Western models, and the freedom of speech
law, which was put in place by the US occupation administration
after World War II. The book concludes by assessing the current
state of censorship in Japan and likely future developments.
