“The exquisite humanity in this book transcends all 
geographical and cultural difference to show us what is 
universal in ourselves, and germane to place. A triumph of insight and heart.”—Hilton Als, staff writer for the New Yorker and a winner of 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism
 
“A wonderful visual exploration of contemporary queer lives in Japan. Exploring the personal and public lives of a gay Episcopal priest, a young lesbian couple who’ve been accepted by their family, a famous civil rights activist and pop idol, an intersex author, and more, this important volume provides a unique glimpse into a diverse Japan. It inspires us to to ‘live as you are—truthfully.’”—Karen Nakamura, professor of anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley
