Book Features & Author Introduction

Exploring Japan’s Subtle Taboos: Unseen Social Constraints in Everyday Life

This book does not attempt to define the concept of “taboo” or offer a cultural theory of Japan, nor does it mock young people or foreigners for a perceived lack of respect toward Japanese traditions. Instead, it casually explores the subtle and often ambiguous “constraints”—social taboos—that continue to shape behavior in everyday life, even among modern Japanese people who may not be fully aware of their influence.

By examining unspoken rules, customs, and norms that are implicitly followed in contemporary Japanese society, the book offers a multifaceted perspective on how these quiet forces regulate and sometimes restrict individual behavior—a thought-provoking read for anyone curious about the invisible frameworks that underpin life in Japan today.
