Reviews

Daniel Foote, Faculty of Law, The University of Tokyo:

This is the first book to undertake such a comprehensive examination of the legal and constitutional treatment of sexual autonomy in Japan.

David S. Law, School of Law, University of Virginia:

Sensible as well as highly readable, Sex, Sexuality, and the Constitution is a must-have for scholars and students interested in privacy and sexual autonomy from a comparative perspective. The Japanese experience is a rich source of fascinating and thought-provoking material, and no one knows it better than Professor Matsui
