Is whoring illegal in Japan?

Brothels appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, starting from the State of Qi. It is said that its founder is Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi State. At that time, merchants in Qi often sold young women from Qin and Jin to Qi as prostitutes. In view of the proliferation of brothels, the dynasties in ancient history have not been completely eliminated. Some dynasties only cracked down on prostitutes, but had no influence on regular brothels. In ancient history, the banks of Qinhuai River in Jinling and Slender West Lake in Yangzhou were places where brothels gathered. In Beijing, it is called "Eight Hutong", and even a poem about the eight Hutong appeared: "The restaurant is in the second row, and there are thousands of lights on the street. Knowing that the world worships business dramas, the eight hutongs are good business. " In fact, the official media idiom "Combating prostitution and whoring according to law is the duty and power entrusted to the people's police by law" is also applicable to Japan, but compared with the people's police in China, the scope of "power" of the Japanese police is obviously much smaller. The Japanese police can only crack down on some offenders on the premise that the porn industry is basically legal, but the China People's Police have cracked down "completely" and "thoroughly" on the premise that the porn industry is illegal in principle.

That is to say, based on the consideration of human rights and protection regeneration, Japanese law conceptually regards sex sellers as "protected objects", while Japanese law regards them as "attacked objects". This difference in concept leads to different ways of handling in China and China. Like China, the practice of exposing prostitutes on TV without codes appeared in 1960s and 1970s, but it is hard to imagine today.

Legal basis: Article 3 of the Law on the Prevention of Selling Spring prohibits selling spring, but the law stipulates nine kinds of crimes related to selling spring and their penalties with 12, all of which are "criminal sanctions". These "mistakes" include seduction, mediation, forcing others to engage in prostitution by deception, coercion or other means, accepting the price of prostitution, instigating others to engage in prostitution by prepaying funds, concluding prostitution contracts, providing prostitution places, operating prostitution business and providing funds for operating prostitution business.
