Contemporary Japan

Japan is a place where centuries-old philosophy of harmony with nature permeates modern life, creating truly unique spaces. The face of Japan is shaped not only by its landscapes and places, but also by its people and their stories. From life on remote islands far from the city’s hustle, through trends in fashion and otaku culture, to the immense social challenges facing the country today — all these elements define the singular character of contemporary Japan.

In this section, we will take a deep dive into some of Japan’s most pressing social issues — from bleak demographic forecasts and phenomena such as hikikomori and rental sisters, to jouhatsu (people who vanish), rural depopulation, and much more.

We’ll explore many facets of modern Japan, from cultural phenomena to everyday life, from the challenges its society faces to its triumphs — all to better understand what Japan truly is today.

An artistic soul and a warrior’s heart in a world of extreme social challenges
