Forbidden Japan. Secrets of the Land of the Rising Sun That Are Not Commonly Spoken Aloud

What do we know about Japan? Ancient temples against the backdrop of ultra-modern skyscrapers, traditional tea ceremonies and robotic cafes, impeccable politeness and silent restraint. But behind this meticulously constructed facade lies another Japan - a country of unspoken rules,... social taboos, and secrets that are not commonly spoken aloud. This book is about what remains off camera. You will visit places where tourists do not go and look into the hidden corners of the Japanese soul that travel guides will not tell you about. And you will also learn about the dark side of Japanese society, grim traditions that are preferred to be kept silent, and difficult questions that are rarely raised even in Japan itself. This is not an expose or a sensation, but an attempt to understand what lies behind the perfect picture and why these facts make Japan so unique. Are you ready to see the Land of the Rising Sun in a new light?
