      One woman’s boss converted her to part-time work (!) as soon as she married under the assumption she would have children soon.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1091655492185804800 …

      Many working moms in Japan face a unique challenge: Men do less housework than anywhere else in the developed world. It’s keeping women from getting better jobs, and holding back the economy. https://nyti.ms/2D5ZLgB

      Scene: a bank. Boss, to young woman: "The reason we have young women at the bank is to give young salarymen a selection of women to marry. You're 30, so you're aging out of the marriage market, and I hear you are dating someone outside the bank, so think about moving on soon."

          Single digit weeks later, when the young woman announced her engagement (to, improbably, an American) and turned in her notice, they asked her to please defer the notice period until after the fiscal year close because she was the only one who knew how to do the thing they needed

          I have a lot more anecdotes where those came from, too. :( Good news: all cultures change over time; with respect to this specific issue, BigCo Japan is (very gradually) getting better.
