JSL Literature

JSL Literature refers to written works created in Japanese Sign Language (JSL), a visual-gestural language used by the Deaf community in Japan. This literature includes poetry, stories, plays, and narratives expressed through sign language, often capturing cultural themes and personal experiences. It serves as a vital form of artistic and cultural expression, preserving Deaf history and identity. As a form of visual storytelling, JSL Literature highlights the richness of Deaf culture and offers insights into the experiences and creativity of the Deaf community in Japan.
