  A study of the mapping and remapping of male-male sexuality over four centuries of Japanese history. It explores the languages of medicine, law, and popular culture from the seventeenth century through the American Occupation. It opens with speculations about how an Edo translator might grapple with a twentieth-century text on homosexuality.
