There is brief racism in scenes in which a white woman makes derogatory remarks about a Japanese woman with whom her husband is having an affair. In one scene, the white woman dresses in traditional Japanese dress and make-up to indicate that she knows of her husband's philandering.

There is a scene in which a man selects a prostitute from amongst a group of women in a brothel, and which is followed by a brief scene in which she buttons her blouse in a room where it is implied they have had sex. There are also brief moderate verbal sex references, a brief scene in which a man examines his wife's breasts under her nightdress, and brief sight of a woman's exposed buttocks in a framed painting.

There is brief sexual harassment in the workplace in a scene in which a man briefly touches a female co-worker's breast.
