The so called “Fashion Health” industry was and still is a key aspect of Japan. Fashion Health was a product of the bubble and began to proliferate in 1981. Nowadays, the government has tightened the regulations (風営法, fu’eiho) considerably and it’s now practically impossible to open a brand new Fashion Health shop. However, due to one of those wacky loopholes that you often find in Japanese Law, fashion health establishments that were already in operation before the change of the law are allowed to remain in business.
