Julian Ryall reports that women are attacking men in increasing numbers, sometimes fatally.
In 2014, 181 domestic violence complaints were filed by men in Japan, according to the National Police Agency.
Japanese men do not come from a culture where reporting being beaten up by a woman comes easily.
In the three years to 2017, Japanese men have reported, in a study, a 134% rise in violence against them.
Japanese society has changed a lot in recent years and young men today are more calm and gentle than in the past.
