    About this ebook

    Japan’s traditional culture allowed married men to keep mistresses, and the custom is still alive and well among those who can afford the expense—and are willing to ignore the danger! In this intriguingly illustrated book, Japanologist Boyé Lafayette De Mente takes an often humorous look at the custom then and now. [Shoguns had up to 300 live-in concubines to choose from!] The book also tells you where to go “shopping” in the largest “pool” of would-be mistresses in today’s Japan.
