The recent edition of Feti Fes in Tokyo was a packed event with the usual wide array of fetishes and subcultures.
The festival on September 17 had around 100 booths of both individual exhibitors and groups across five floors, showcasing ero-cosplay, debusen, zentai, and much, much more. Many of the women work as freelance porn stars and ero-cosplayers, though various subculture/fetish circles are also at the venue.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend in person due to other commitments that day, but fortunately DXBeppin-r.com could and has put together a nice photo report with portraits ...
Feti Fes is Japan's top fetish festival. We have attended before and previously posted photo reports that readers seemed to like.
It's the kind of event where every little room, cubbyhole, or booth is dedicated to a whole other fetish. Participants include chika (underground) and gravure idols, ero-cosplayers, fetish service providers, and goods and merchandise retailers.
After postponement due to the pandemic -- obviously, given the nature of the event, it's hardly compatible with social distancing guidelines -- Feti Fes 19 was finally held in April. We were not able to attend but, as we ...
The Japanese zentai bodysuit fetish is gradually getting better known.
Here is a great way in which the originally little-known subculture can become something new.
Yuzuru Maeda is a Japanese artist living in Singapore. Despite the latter's reputation for being strait-laced, Maeda has turned to zentai to create the Zentai Art Project, a series of video and dance works that use zentai motifs.
The video document a series of happenings with performers in Lycra suits, such as this one.
Some are more like strange music videos.
Maeda also outlines a nice history ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held on January 31st at a venue in Harajuku and what a serendipitous collection of fetishes it was!
We loved the one we attended last year. This January we couldn't go in person but watched from afar via the festival's official social media channels, from where we have pouched these shots.
Everything from rope bondage and steampunk to almost-not-there bikini idols, crotch shots, masks, blood and horror, nurses, eyepatches, facesitting, and everything in between.
The festival remains one of the most accessible ways to experience the sheer range of ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku.
There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the "Underground Fetish Film Festival" screenings.
Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it has been held eight times around Japan. This festival -- the fifth in Tokyo -- was the biggest so far and there seemed to be hundreds of visitors by our estimate.
Due to legal reasons, there was no nudity allowed in the ...
Japan's top jukujo Yumi Kazama shows now signs of slowing down with age.
Quite the opposite. Her latest release is Silver Dust Slave Soapland, probably one of her most extreme fetish titles yet.
As Kanojo Toys writes:
This rare new fetish porn title with jukujo older star Yumi Kazama sees the hot MILF coated in silver dust, transforming her into a unique sex slave at a soapland. Every inch of her gorgeous body is dusted in silver, her neck chained to a collar to stop her from moving. Only her eyes and orifices are left free and of course, they come in handy for the nakadashi creampie ...
The Japanese Zentai body suit fetish has evolved.
Z x R is a "baptism" of a Zentai and rubber body contact fetish combo, fused with wet and messy sensations on the skin.
The girls paint themselves and then enjoy the feeling of the sticky, dripping materials.
Created by photographer Masataka "Sei" Satoh and models Miyako Akane and Eri Kitami, Z x R was showcased recently at Fetish Fes Osaka on November 2nd.
For now, we're not sure what the results of this rubber paint play are going to be except a DVD and photo book, but we hope this spawns a new ...
Designer Jo Nagasaka (Schemata Architects) has made the kind of seats that we definitely want to have in the Tokyo Kinky office.
"Shibari" is a series of black and white foam seats inspired by the classic art of Japanese rope bondage.
Nagasaka is showing his creations at this year's Milano Salone. Note the rope keeping the bulging seat in shape. Design-wise, it's a nice contrast of smooth curving rubber and sharp jagged lines.
There seem to be four seats, each slightly different and in two colors.
The foam seats are covered in rubber coating, which is of course not ...
We love it when an interesting fetish gets some mainstream attention. Sure, sometimes this can be sensationalist and tread a fine line between mockery and awe, but anything that opens up the conversation about alternative sexuality is got to be a good thing in our book. Especially if it involves Japan.
Zentai (short for zentai taitsu -- full-body tights) is the name of a fetish where people wear skintight all-in-one Spandex body suits. Everything is covered, including the eyes.
Zentai practitioners have recently been featured in an Agence France-Presse article that has been republished ...
