Addresses masculine gender expectations in a male-dominated political world, the connection between gendered identity and ethical being. This book follows the lives of two very different Japanese men entering political life in two very different communities.

While the typical Japanese male politician glides through his district in air-conditioned taxis, the typical female voter trundles along the side streets on a simple bicycle. Studying the politics of the average female citizen in Japan, this title argues that this taxi-bicycle contrast reaches deeply into Japanese society.
