Can a glimpse at something be even more alluring than actually getting your hands on it?
Of all the myriad fetishes we cover on this modest blog, panchira (up-skirt panties view) has probably gained the most mainstream acceptance in recent times.
From calendars to umbrellas, virtual reality apps and adult video games, panchira is everywhere. Sometimes it's illegal and practitioners get into trouble. Other times, it's harmless fun.
Now comes the Specialized Panties Pose Collection: We Love Panties, So We Want to Draw Them ASAP, a "reference" book and photo book that showcases an ...
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 ...
They say that half the Japanese web is cats and the other half is food.
That's false: a third is cats, a third is food and the last third is various shades of porn and adult content.
So when you combine these elements, you get a recipe for a hit online or offline. For example, nyotaimori or the "condom cookbook" we featured back in 2014.
Now along comes "Painyan", a new 96-page photo book by Yuki Aoyama released on May 31st. Regular readers will recall that Aoyama is the photographer with something of an obsession with schoolgirls.
This time Aoyama has turned his lens away from ...
Yesterday we wrote about a Japanese photographer who has turned his private house into a sex doll museum -- and opened it up to the public. Now here are three developments related to Japan's top sex doll brand, Orient Industry.
Orient Industry has released a 40th-anniversary book looking at the history of their sex dolls (also known as love dolls) and how they are made. You can order it from Kanojo Toys, though be aware that the text is only in Japanese.
The Kishin Shinoyama photography exhibition we previewed in April has now started at the Shibuya art space Atsuko Barouh Arts Drinks ...
Photographer and love doll super fan Yoshitaka Hyodo has converted his private house into a personal hihokan-style sex museum.
Located in Yashio City on the border between Saitama and Tokyo, Hyodo has even opened up his house to the public for Golden Week. If you want to visit, it is open from April 30th to May 5th. Reservations are required, though, so check his blog for more details. Admission is ¥1,000, but apparently free for people with sex dolls. Photography is allowed for non-commercial purposes.
This is the fourth time he has opened up his collection across two floors ...
We've been following the "World of Thighs" series of photography exhibitions by Yuria ever since it started in 2015 and just got bigger and bigger with each new iteration.
Focused just on the glorious wonder of slender Japanese girls' thighs and legs, previous versions of the smash-hit show (known as "Futomomo-ten" in Japanese) include a hot spring theme.
As we once noted, this is basically zettai ryouiki (forbidden zone) fetish with some artistic trappings. One version of the show in Golden Week 2016 was attended by some 16,000 people.
There is now a new ...
The immensely successful "Futomomo" girls' thighs fetish photography series is back.
After its previous incarnations in Tokyo attracted over 20,000 visitors, "World of Thighs" returns to Todays Gallery Studio in Asakusabashi from December 16th to January 22nd (closed December 31st to January 4th).
This time there is a "hot spring" (onsen) theme. (Springs are traditionally very erotic in Japan.)
It's not hard to see why this exhibition has pulled in the punters.
As always, all the photographs by Yuria feature Japanese girls' slender legs. ...
The photographer Sakiko Nomura has a new exhibition at Ba-Tsu Art Gallery in Harajuku showcasing the beauty of Japanese AV actors.
During the 1990s, Sakiko Nomura trained with Nobuyoshi Araki, who knows a thing or two about erotic photography.
As we know, male porn performers are in short supply in Japan and so deserve our admiration for doing what must be a tough job. Yeah, having sex with hundreds of hot women a month for money. We really sympathize.
But seriously, the photography looks great. There's certainly a homoerotic overtone. And it gets even more fun when we consider ...
