«Japanese Slang: Uncensored» is Peter Constantine's guide to Japanese slang, published by Periplus Editions (HK) Ltd in paperback (208 pages).
The book explores Japanese slang beyond phrasebooks: funny, strange and transgressive expressions; it pays attention to ingo, the hidden languages of thieves, sushi chefs, Buddhist monks and other marginal figures, and traces the origins of these voices to portray the subcultures that use them.
Originally published in 1994 in the Tuttle Language Library series; the cover shows the term 隠語.
Aimed at students of the Japanese language and readers interested in colloquial registers and Japan's subcultures.
