JRZD-620 First Shoot: Fifty-Something Wife Documentary — Yayoi Miyasaka

About this work

Yayoi Miyasaka, 54, from Chiba Prefecture. In her 35th year of marriage, the Miyasaka family has three children with her husband, who is a member of the Self-Defense Forces; each child is already married and the family has four grandchildren, making it a large household. Last year they rebuilt their home and began living together with the eldest daughter’s family and the grandchildren, which went well at first. However, the new house is so thin-walled that sounds carry through—she can hear the eldest daughter and son-in-law’s nighttime activities almost every night. Her husband is stationed at a distant base and they have been sexless for years, which has left Yayoi struggling with sexual frustration.
