Sir Kazuo Ishiguro is a Japanese-born British novelist,screenwriter,musician,and short-story writer. He is one of the most critically acclaimed contemporary fiction authors writing in English,having been awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature. In its citation,the Swedish Academy described Ishiguro as a writer "who,in novels of great emotional force,has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".
Lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,and queer (LGBTQ) people in Japan have fewer legal protections than in most other developed countries,although some developments towards stronger rights have been made in the 2020s. Same-sex sexual activity was criminalised only briefly in Japan's history between 1872 and 1881,after which a localised version of the Napoleonic Penal Code was adopted with an equal age of consent. Same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are ineligible for the legal protections available to opposite-sex couples,although since 2015 some cities and prefectures,covering over 60% of the population by 2023,offer "partnership certificates" to recognise the relationships of same-sex couples and provide some legal benefits. Japan is the only country in the G7 that does not legally recognize same-sex unions nationally in any form. In March 2021 and May 2023,the Sapporo and Nagoya District Courts ruled that not recognising same-sex marriage was a violation of the Constitution respectively. While in June 2022,the Osaka District Court ruled that not recognising same-sex marriage was not a violation of the Constitution,in November 2022,the Tokyo District Court ruled that the absence of same-sex marriage legislation was an unconstitutional state of affairs but did not violate the Constitution,though the court's ruling has no immediate legal effect. In June 2023,the Fukuoka District Court ruled that the ban on same-sex marriage was constitutional. A second ruling in September 2023 concluded that same-sex relationships should not be excluded from Japan's marriage system.
