I’ve been doing a lot of research on this topic recently. From what i gather, most movies or series (if not all) revolving around samurai tend to refrain from mentioning the homosexual culture of that time altogether. This can most likely be attributed to the conflicting modern day sentiments regarding homosexuality (they are either afraid or embarrassed to touch upon the subject and portray it as it was). Once the Meiji era came about and Western beliefs (Christianity) gained influence, they firmly sought to put all things related to the Edo period, including the homosexual practices of that era, behind them.

Can anybody enlighten?
