Intimate Encounters by Lieba Faier
Explores the changes brought about in Japan by the influx of a non-Japanese population, Filipina brides. This book investigates how Filipina women who emigrated to rural Japan to work in hostess bars - where initially they were disparaged as prostitutes and foreigners - came to be identified by the local residents as traditional Japanese brides.
