We love documenting the intriguing fetishes that exist out there -- and be sure, we don't do out of any sense of judging! Quite the opposite, we are kind of celebrating difference.
Anyway, another example has just come to light.
A man was arrested in Kanagawa prefecture over the weekend for stealing. Nothing new in that, except that he stole bicycle seats. A lot of them. 200 of them.
Police first came to see Joji Kondo to investigate the theft of three seats from an apartment block at around 4:45 AM on August 22nd. In Kondo's lair of pungent desire, they found 200 bicycle ...
Japanese cops have guns and in theory can shoot someone if necessary.
Well, some shoot other things.
Kozo Shirakawa, a 46-year-old sergeant in Kagawa, was nothing if not ingenious. He attached a special spy camera to his shoe so he could film up women's skirts. The camera was on the inside and could shoot from a small hole in the leather.
One August Sunday afternoon he took his invention to a department store in Takamatsu, where he was trying it out by filming up the skirt of a 23-year-old woman.
Surely this guy should be given bonus points for innovation and brazenness. The ...
Like girls in knee-high socks? Tick.
Like girls in swimsuits? Tick.
Then you will definitely like Underwater Knee-High Girls by Manabu Koga, a photobook that goes on sale at the end of August.
Why have one fetish when you can have two?
Koga is known for underwater photography, such as in the Mika Ninagawa film Helter Skelter.
Koga's project features around 100 photos of smiling and alluring ladies underwater while wearing the cosplayer's favorite kind of footwear.
So what do you think? Is this aquatic malarkey ...
Some people to go to ANY lengths to catch a glimpse of the holy grail, it seems.
Hyogo police have arrested a twenty-six-year-old company employee from Kobe for hiding in a 30-by-45-inch grate in the side of the road in order to spy on girls' panties as they went by.
Yasuomi Hirai has admitted his guilt.
Around 10am on June 5th, he was spotted at a grate opening in Kobe after having entered the roadside drain via a space twenty meters away.
Nearby there is a girls' college and girls' high school, and many of the students would pass by. Hirai also lived nearby.
A ...
A teacher in Shiga has been caught installing a miniature camera in the girls' toilets at the elementary school where he works.
A student found the secret video camera one morning and told the school honchos.
Before the school could even launch a full investigation the teacher responsible confessed. Apparently the fortysomething educator had been off work for almost a year for undisclosed mental issues and this was how he "celebrated" his return to his duties.
Apparently his tech skills, along with his ability to keep a secret, need some training as he failed to record ...
Saitama police have re-arrested a company employee, Kunio Kobayashi (25) for stealing women's underwear while the items were drying outside.
The same city of Hanyu has seen ten incidents of women's skirts or dresses being pulled up to reveal what is underneath, perpetrated by a horny villain who wears women's panties over his head while exposing his lower half au naturel since around November last year.
Kobayashi has hinted at his guilt for at least some of the crime.
"I was filled with lust and wanted to taste the thrill of doing it without getting caught."
He was previously ...
The culture of chikan and up-skirt photography is catching, it seems!
Police in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, have arrested a petty officer third class stationed at the nearby US naval base. The 22-year-old took a bus in the town but decided to take in the view not just from the window.
At around 8:20 in the morning he was caught trying to snap a shot with his smartphone up the skirt of a third-year high school girl.
A 39-year-old woman thought something was suspicious and grabbed the man, reporting him to police. The soldier then sealed his guilt by notably smashing up his phone prior to ...
Toshiki Hanai, a twenty-eight-year-old assistant district court judge in Osaka, has perhaps not surprisingly lost his job.
When you get caught filming up a girl's skirt (panchira) on a train, you might reasonably expect there to be repercussions if you are supposed to be an upholder of the law!
That's what Hanai was apparently caught doing in August 2012.
Another male passenger spotted the nimble judge squatting down on the crowded commuter train during the morning rush hour, trying to get a good view with his smartphone of the heavenly world up a girl's skirt.
The valiant ...
Parks are not just for strolling around in.
Unlike other cities, Tokyo's parks are open all night. Photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki used to visit Chuo Park in the early Seventies and search for goings-on in the dark.
At the time, it was common for couples to go the park to have sex. But that alone wasn't what was interesting.
The couples weren't alone. People were watching.
In effect, the park was an open-air public happening bar.
After spending months entrenches with the voyeurs so that they would trust him as a "regular" in Chuo, Yoyogi and Aoyama parks, Yoshiyuki then ...
There are people with smell fetishes everywhere and we are not sure if there are more in Japan -- or whether the Japanese are simply much better at integrating their fetishes into products and social structures.
Either way, you can find a ton of pretty amazing smell fetish goods out there.
We went shopping...
