Enter the world of Kyoichi Tsuzuki, photographer of erotic Japan
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 Shibuya. Admission to “God Dwells in the Nether Regions” is ¥1,000 but well worth it, since Tsuzuki’s photography is among the best of its kind.
The exhibits will feature Tsuzuki’s images of love hotels, “image clubs” (a type of dress-up fuzoku), Orient Industry’s luxury sex dolls, and the increasingly rare world of hihokan.
Here are some examples of his incredible work.
