The singer KOM_I of the music group Wednesday Campanella has posed for a hair nude, full-frontal photo shoot. In the shoot, KOM_I is completely naked, including her hairy bush (hence the genre known locally as "hair nude") -- normally a taboo under the regular interpretation of Japan's arcane obscenity laws, but exceptions are made for "artistic" photo books. These photos are as gory as they are gorgeous. In fact, the shoot is as provocative for its nudity as it is for its violent yet erotic theme. Its grotesque imagery is certainly not for the squeamish, replete with wounds and blood and ...

We're a little late to the party with this but our favorite Twitter account of the moment is @shinya_1972_, which has been posting alluring images of beautiful women since May 2018. There is no information in the profile and no links to speak of, but it seems like "Shinya" is a photographer (born in 1972?) who is generously sharing his own images of models (or girlfriends?). There's rarely any actual nudity but these photos are incredibly hot. Seemingly shot on a film camera and without much or any editing, the erotic images feel raw and genuine. The subjects are lying half-naked on a ...

Photographer Yuji Susaki has returned with a follow-up to the successful Oppai Zukan Full-Sized Gravure Idol Breasts Reference Book, which included copious to-scale images of the busts of dozens of gravure idols. The sequel, 3D Oppai Zukan Full-Size Adult Video Idol Breasts Reference Book (Gurutto Mawaseru! Gensundai Oppai Zukan 3D), is, as the title sugests, a three-dimensional update, since now you can also use your phone to read the QR codes on each idol's page and display the breasts in 3D. Moreover, the idols this time are not gradol who have to keep their clothes on, but adult ...

Let's travel back again to Showa, a time in Japan we know had plenty of hot sex and kinky antics. Two models, Iori (Iori Kedakai) and Rukino (Luchino Fujisaki), have recreated a Showa-period gravure erotic photo shoot. It was for a photography exhibition called "Do you like sexy young ladies of Showa?" held at a gallery in Koenji in August, accompanying a release of a photo book. From the clothes to the coloring of the photo print and background as well as the makeup and hair styles, this shoot is thoroughly Showa in its inspiration. We love ...

The hugely successful series of "Futomomo" thigh fetish photography shows by Yuria hit a snag in the spring, when allegations and outrage over young models prompted the cancellation of an exhibition at Ikebukuro Marui, a major department store. And then came another development: a lesbian-themed photography exhibition, also in Tokyo and also featuring Yuria's work, was then cancelled for dubiously unclear reasons. The good news is that Yuria is back with more of her usual erotic yet tasteful photography. "The World of Thighs Photography Autumn 2018" has a fall theme, ideal as the ...

The singer KOM_I of the music group Wednesday Campanella has released a full-frontal nude photo. The photo book, "Uso?" (Lie?), has been shot by the Okinawan actress Fumi Nikaido, who has herself done at least one nude shoot and, to her fan's delight, a nude scene in a movie. Nikaido is a quite accomplished photographer, having released at least another photo book she made with the fashion model Serina Motola (in addition to her own photo books, of course). The photo book is from the Gekkan series, which has continued ...

The latest amateur nude selfie goddess to tear up the interwebs in Japan is this young angel. Her hinnyu chopping-board chest is surprisingly hot, along with her cute girl-next-door face. But best of all is the sheer inventiveness of the series of shots she has posted online, displaying off her alluring nude or semi-nude body in a sequence of poses that really show off her normal life at home. Some of the over-exposed (technically, that is) shots feel very professional, in a deliberately "casual" and rough sort of way, and we suspect she got help creating them. Is she in fact the muse of a ...

Japan's amazing sex dolls have long been so much more than just adult companions. They have inspired art projects and serious photography while, in turn, real life has also unsurprisingly inspired them -- such as the Lady Gaga love doll a few years back. And now things have come full circle LEiyA is a Japanese photographer who shoots women who are made to look like they have become a sex doll (love doll). She does this as an Osaka-based service called the "Human Love Doll Factory," which was launched by LEiyA in December 2017 and offers to transform you into a "living sex doll," as ...

Following the high-profile cancellation of the latest "Futomomo" thighs fetish exhibition, another exhibition has run afoul of Ikebukuro Marui department store this month. Mixing photography and illustration, the annual Girls' Love (yuri) (as opposed to Boys' Love) fetish exhibition was set to run from March 17th to March 25th at the Ikebukuro branch of Marui. The "Yuri Exhibition" event has now been cancelled for reasons that are not yet fully clear. The organizers (who include subculture store Village Vanguard) claim that it has now become "difficult" for the exhibitors to display and ...

The latest edition of the immensely successful "Futomomo" series of exhibitions has been cancelled amid allegations of underage models. These exhibitions by the photographer Yuria have showcased Japanese female thighs in all manner of poses and settings, and have some 35,000 fans since the first event in July 2015. Last year there was even a spin-off cafe. But the most recent exhibition, which was set to run at Ikebukuro Marui department store from March 9th to March 26th, has been cancelled over allegations that the models may be legally minors and that the photography was promoting ...
