"Love hotels represent a significant aspect of contemporary Japanese culture, yet, until now, there has been surprisingly little written about them. In this book architect and cultural theorist Sarah Chaplin presents a cultural history of Japanese love hotels, charting the development of the urban love hotel from the late 1950s to the present day, and relating its cultural history to other spaces and earlier forms associated with sexuality, commerce and leisure."--BOOK JACKET.
