Tokyo is a huge megapolis, connected by a network of subways, land, and overground trains. People from all over Japan and beyond make a living here. It also has a huge sex industry in which people can work in anonymity, when in need of money or companionship, through agencies spread throughout. Women from all walks of life work here, protected by law which forbids the actual, penetrative sex, for money, making things more interesting because the sexual satisfaction must be achieved by any means other than penetration. The women also seek satisfaction in their own way.
This memoir describes the experiences of the author spread over many years, during which he meets women delivered by an agency in Shibuya, the fashion and entertainment district recently popular with tourists, to love hotels. These young women, all in their twenties, are here due to their own social and economic circumstances--a livelihood in between jobs, a family obligation for money, but most for some extra income, and many for just fun. These women are all very distinct in character, and all enjoy sex in their own myriad ways, fully surrendering their bodies and minds.
The experiences, described here in simple language, transcend several layers of Japanese society. This profession follows the same commitment as any other in Japan, as a service ingrained in the society.

Arindam Paul
A technologist by profession and artist by nature, both of which are integral to him, Arindam constantly observes people around him. Women especially fascinate him for their appearance and their need to navigate society constantly. Arindam paints and exhibits in Japan. People’s appearances are an object of curiosity for him, for they subtly reflect their minds.
Living in several places in India made him deeply interested in the diversity of culture and society, especially the status of women, which defines it. Japanese society was an additional challenge, for being a non-verbal society. There are appearances and hidden layers of personality, as well as being in communication with strangers without direct eye contact.
Having lived in Japan for more than 25 years, Arindam pours his wisdom into this book, exploring what is hidden from foreigners.
