Erotic photographer Yasumasa Yonehara shows us gravure idol running on treadmill
June 20, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Remember Yasumasa Yonehara? Super big a few years ago, he's the instantly recognisable bald Japanese photographer with that habit of taking slutty pictures of slutty girls in hotel rooms. What a guy.
Yes, he's one of those people who just proves that if you are cocky enough and say you are a photographer, you can apparently get almost any woman to pose for you.
Perhaps that's why half the male foreigners we seem to meet in Japan claim to be photographers (the other half claim to be DJs).
Yonehara has now turned his attention to swimwear. After all, it is summer.
We have no ...
New photo book by Yuji Susaki highlights busty gravure idols
June 2, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Like big boobs? Check.
Like things being wrapped around big boobs? Check.
Yes, this photo book by Yuji Susaki may have it all.
Wrap the Boobs is a new photo book about Japanese girls with giant breasts (not quite bakunyu but getting there) and how wrapping their perfect jugs in things can heighten the visual feast.
The photographer is previously known for his work with cosplayers like idol group Dempagumi.inc..
Models in the new photo book -- out now from Ichijinsha -- include Hikaru Aoyama, Mizuki Katase, Jun Amaki (formerly of the masked idol group Kamen Joshi), and the ...
Enter the world of Kyoichi Tsuzuki, photographer of erotic Japan
May 18, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Anyone interested in Japanese sex dolls, love hotels and sex museums (hihokan) should check out this upcoming exhibition by photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki.
Kyoichi Tsuzuki is famous for his photo-books that examine the seedier elements of Japan, such as Tokyo Right Half, Love Hotel: Satellite of Love, and Hihokan. His most popular book is perhaps Tokyo Style and his counter-guide book "roadside" series that showcases unusual sights found while travelling.
From June 11th to July 31st, Tsuzuki's work on erotic Japan will be presented at the event space Atsukobarouh Arts Drinks Talk in ...
What do you do when you graduate from the porn world? Become a singer like Yuma Asami? Perhaps. Become a mangaka like Nayuka Mine? Perhaps. Or you can become an artist!
Japanese porn star turned photographer Saki Otsuka showcases her lensing work in Mitsubai Room, a monthly photography magazine.
Otsuka has been gradually building a post-porn career in photography that is sensibly informed by her expertise. Her work is sexually explicit but dark and jagged, more Daido Moriyama than Kishin Shinoyama or Yasumasa Yonehara.
This is taken from her Hotel B series (she wants models, by ...
Underwater Knee-High Girls series is now a monthly magazine
December 7, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
It seems that the world can't get enough of the alluring world of Manabu Koga's Underwater Knee-High Girls.
After first seducing us in 2013, the conceit of having cute girls in slinky swimming costumes and knee-high socks shot underwater has not got old.
In fact, as Koga has added gimmicks like props and worked with the likes of "flat-chested" lingerie designer Gomi Hayakawa. The swimsuits in the photo books and exhibitions have even become actual products (in collaboration with sexy swimsuit brand Realise), fans have continued to flock to his vision.
Three photo books later, ...
Underwater Knee-High Girls slinky swimsuits become products
October 5, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
As if the front-zipper Realise swimsuit isn't enough for people to get excited about, now comes news that the swimming costumes featured in the "Underwater Knee-High Girls" series of aquatic photo books by Manabu Koga will also go on sale.
The third photography book by Koga was released in September, with the theme this time being pairs of girls diving underwater, who link arms to form "cubes". Well, the models were already erotic enough. Now we have hints of aquatic lesbianism to boot!
The two swimming costumes being sold by Village Vanguard have actually been developed for ...
“Nerd fetish” photographer and designer Kuchikaseya Moira’s first solo exhibition of adult portraits
June 30, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Photographer and designer Kuchikaseya Moira is holding her first solo exhibition at Jimbocho Gallery until July 12th, featuring sexy self-portraits and more.
Kuchikaseya Moira, whose name means "Gagsmith Moira", is known for her "nerd fetish" erotic cosplay self-portraits. She looks very nice in a swimsuit, especially wearing a mouth gag as well.
And as her Tumblr account reveals, she is even more alluring in a sailor schoolgirl uniform, not to mention a gas mask (as we know, quite a thing in Japan). Nice butt too.
She took part in the hit "Panchira 2015" ...
Photography show highlights the naked joy of Japanese girls’ thighs
June 24, 2015
/ Megumi
A photography show featuring work by Yuria has got our blood stirring.
"Aimai futomomo shashinkan" (Ambiguous Thighs Photo Studio) focuses (literally) on girls' thighs -- lots of them. The exhibits are based on five years' worth of materials!
Of course, this is basically zettai ryouiki (forbidden zone) in a more artistic setting.
The show runs from July 3rd to July 12th at Todays Gallery Studio in Asakusa. Entry costs ¥500 but for that you get around 200 exhibits of thighs.
If you fancy getting your thigh photographed in this style, during ...
Saki Otsuka photography exhibition “MEME” in Koenji in April
March 27, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Porn star Saki Otsuka turned herself into a photographer a little while ago now when she released her photography book "Mitsubai nude" in 2012. Since then she's produced quite an impressive body of work.
Once again working with ERECT magazine, the occasional publication with the best name in the world, Saki Otsuka has created "MEME", a touring exhibition of her work taking in Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo.
It's perhaps no surprise that Saki isn't shooting pictures of flowers or pretty landscapes. Her photography is dark and focuses a lot on naked flesh, including her own, it seems. The ...
Taiwan Kawaii School Girl: Photographer Yuki Aoyama turns to Taiwanese students
December 3, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Photographer Yuki Aoyama has managed to persuade the world that he is not a sleazy guy with a lens, but an artist. That takes some skill because his subject is always schoolgirls, particularly sweet and innocent-looking Japanese ones.
What other country in the world would revere a photographer who calls his breakout hit "Schoolgirl Complex"?
"Taiwan Kawaii School Girl" is his new release this month and, as the name suggests, features not Japanese female students but Taiwanese ones.
Can Taiwanese schoolgirls be as cute and alluring as their Japanese equivalents?
It seems ...
