''After "Freedom of Expression?" Non-Freedom of Expression Exhibition' was part of the Aichi Triennale 2019 and presenting works that were once being censored and prohibited to exhibit in Japan. However, after receiving opposition from politicians, protests, and threats of violence against the exhibition, especially the statue of a girl symbolising the "Comfort Women" and a video depicting a burning photo of the Emperor Showa, the Aichi Triennale Organising Committee has decided to close the exhibition only after 3 days of it opened. 

This incident continued to develop as 12 overseas and 2 Japanese artists protested against the withdrawal or alteration of the exhibition, the Agency for Cultural Affairs announced their decision to suspend all subsidies, and the Aichi Triennale Organising Committee filed a provisional disposition; the exhibition eventually reopened on the last week of the Triennale. 

This book records the course of the events and questions the lack of freedom in Japanese society.' -translated and excerpts from front flap
