This book provides an overview of the Japanese sex industry in the years of Japans 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 womens 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. Japans economic growth, the book thereby contends, came at the price not just of environmental and labour degradation, but also gender inequality.
