I recently read a book that, a decade ago, created a controversy in Japan about homosexuality. In it the prize-winning writer Jiro Fukushima described his sexual relationship with Yukio Mishima dating from 1951.
Because of the book, Mishima's surviving family sued the publisher and the author. Or, more precisely, Mishima's daughter, Noriko, and his son, Iichiro, brought a lawsuit saying Fukushima violated the copyright law and Mishima's "personality right" (jinkaku-ken) by incorporating Mishima's letters into his account without permission.
But the general sense was that Noriko and Iichiro did not like Fukushima's candid descriptions of their father's sex with men. As the publisher Bungei Shunju put it, the suit was "based on prejudicial sentiments against homosexuals."
