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.

The "Yuri Exhibition" event has now been cancelled for reasons that are not yet fully clear.

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 ...

The Futomomo series of photography exhibitions has done much to normalize zettai ryouiki and thigh fetish. And photographer Yuria's project has proved so successful that it has led to six (and counting) photo books and now has even spawned a real-world spin-off. On October 6th, the World of Thighs Photography Cafe opened in Ebisu, Tokyo. Featuring the stunning and erotic photography of Yuria, visitors can now dine while surrounded by the thigh fetish images. The selection of photos is taken from a recent shoot in Guam. Sun, sea and legs -- what more could you want? The ...

Another day, another fetish. This is Japan, where things never cease to inspire and surprise us. Yesterday it was amputee cyborg fantasies. A while ago it was zentai full-body tights. Or up-skirt photography. Or licking door knobs. Photography shows about thighs have proved a massive hit in recent years, so others are trying to jump on the band wagon with a new gimmick. This time it's soles. Yuki Yuzawa currently has an exhibition at Yellow House gallery until August 20th that focuses on the naked soles of tender-looking Japanese girls, from schoolgirls to office ladies, maids and ...

Japanese gravure idols are mostly famous for one thing: their busts. Sure, not all of them have giant breasts but the proportion of busty models is pretty high. There are all kinds of things you can do with such breasts, from groping them to raise money for charity to keeping various objects balanced on them. If you want a way to accurately check and compare gravure idols' various chest sizes, we recommend the Oppai Zukan, or Full-Sized Gravure Idol Breasts Reference Book. This hefty book features such gravure idols as Nanoka, Eimi Matsushima, Saki Funaoka, Nonoko, Sayaka Onuki, Mayumi ...
