Nyonin Kinsei (女人禁制) is a general term for a type of society custom against women that is found in Japan.[1][2][3][4]
In particular, it refers to customs that prohibit women from entering sacred places (shrines, temples, sacred sites, ritual sites, etc.).[5][6] In this sense, the isolated area (boundary) is called women's boundary.[7][8] Use is synonymous with women's prohibition.[9][7]
It also refers to social customs that prohibit mere women from entering, participating in, or participating in any other way, arising from reasons different from the main meaning of women's prohibition (as seen in Kabuki).
On the contrary, "forbidding men from entering" is called Danshi Kinsei (男子禁制) (e.g., praying and performing rituals in Utaki in Okinawa (Ryukyu Kingdom)).
