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 ...
This week is Golden Week, the spring holidays in Japan.
Combined with last weekend and last week's national holiday, you can get several days off in a row, which many people exploit to go back to their home towns.
Pity the people who still have to work during this period.
They can't enjoy the hot weather or the shopping. At least the rush hour trains are empty.
Some cosplayers have been showing their support for businessmen stuck in their offices during Golden Week.
To cheer them up they have been posting images on their lovely legs on Twitter. After all, we know that local men ...
Remember the Zettai Ryouiki Flashing Skirt?
We blogged about it late last year as a cool gadget-cum-cosplay item that really draws attention to that sexy area of the upper thigh, known as zettai ryouki ("the absolute zone").
In this skirt, developed by Kiyoyuki Amano of Kayac Inc, multi-colored flashing lights have been added to a Hatsune Miku miniskirt.
It looked awesome before but now the creators have set up a proper Tumblr account with lots of great images of the flashing skirt in action.
So next time you see a girl in Akihabara with what looks ...
If you're a fan of the zettai ryouiki, the tantalizing area of the upper thigh that is such a preoccupation of moe culture, then you might want to check out this new clothing that particularly highlights the flesh in the "absolute zone".
Developed by Kiyoyuki Amano of Kayac Inc, the "flashing skirt" takes a Hatsune Miku miniskirt and adds flashing mysterious lights to draw attention to the zettai ryouiki.
Well, we guess this is what happens when you take an otaku staple and add some engineering cleverness and cosplay fashion.
Amano has called it the "Komorehi-ryouiki" ...
Guys in Japan love the so-called zettai ryouiki, the "absolute zone" that describes the sexy part of the bare skin on the upper leg of a girl, particularly accentuated when she is wearing a pair of knee-high socks and a short skirt.
Now Japan's netizens, not a tribe with too little time on their hands, have come up with a new name for a new absolute zone.
Illustrator Hiroyuki Sanazura has coined a term for when a girl is wearing spats leggings under a short skirt. The area where the tight leggings are protruding from under the skirt and showing off the girl's trim physique is now ...
If you are a fan of girls with knee high socks -- and we know there are plenty of them out there! -- as well as "the absolute zone" (zettai ryouiki), that Japanese love of the slender upper thigh, then this Zettai Kutsushita app is something you must get on your device ASAP.
The so-called Zettai Ryoiki is derived possibly from the Evangelion series and refers to the tantalizing area of the upper thigh, a point of pure flesh framed between sock and skirt. The popularity of the "zone" was such that there was even a minor trend for girls walking around with ads on their thighs (zettai ...
