Description
Black Box: A harrowing account of sexual assault and the national reckoning that followed.
In 2017, Shiori Ito went public with her accusation against Noriyuki Yamaguchi, a prominent TV journalist in Japan. Her case was met with a shocking response - she was told that her experience was a "black box", unprosecutable due to its secretive nature. This experience highlights the alarming lack of transparency in Japan's legal and investigative systems.
Ito's story became integral to the #MeToo movement in Japan, sparking cultural and legal change. Her book has been instrumental in exposing the systemic issues that allow sexual assault and gender-based violence to persist. The case against Yamaguchi ultimately led to a civil victory for Ito, with the Supreme Court upholding a high court decision in 2022.
