Between 1968 and 1973, Kiyooka published no fewer than eight books that variously contained photography, non-fiction, prose fiction, and poetry depicting lesbian lives, books that formed part of a \u201clesbian boom\u201d in the Japanese media. Kiyooka\u2019s non-fiction and early lesbian photography in particular document and offer a practical guide to contemporary lesbian life in Japan and beyond, including Korea, Vietnam, and Okinawa. She also draws on lesbian history focused on ancient Greece, Japan, and elsewhere to make utopian claims about the future for lesbians in Japan and globally. Yet, perhaps owing to her work\u2019s androcentric appeal and sometimes salacious tone, Kiyooka has been absent from lesbian histories by members of the community.
\nDr. James Welker of Kanagawa University will contextualize Kiyooka\u2019s contribution to non-fiction and photography and shed light on why she has not been claimed as a pioneering lesbian
\nphotographer, writer, and activist in Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
