While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version.

Japanese men and women have more freedom today than they have historically to pave their own futures and express themselves through sexuality and fashion. However, as new identities emerge and take root within the culture, Capitalist responses to the demand force unexpected changes. This project will explore the motivations for these changes, as well as the commodified response by the global market.
