It's almost been two years since I last visited Tokyo. Sure, I miss Tokyo's urban spawl, but what I miss the most is my wacky Japanese rubber friends: Karin and Wanco!
Their creativity and innovative latex designs is unrivaled in the latex fetish world. The skill and effort they put into their latex outfits is breathtaking!
On the photo, Karin and Wanco is wearing their matching "Octo-Puppy" latex outfits. Part alien, part octopus, part puppy... but all wacky!
Japanese manga-ka Junko Mizuno, is known for her unique drawing style, which mixes childish sweetness and cuteness with blood and terror, a kawaii noir style there is very easy to recognize. In addition to her comics, she designs T-shirts, calendars, postcards, and other collectibles.
Lately, Mizuno has done a art installation called "My Sweet Octopus" for a fashion event by an Italian fashion brand Fornarina. In front of the installation, two cute models were cutting a tentacle made of marzipan and offering the pieces to the audience. Yummy!
"One of the most internationally acclaimed artists to emerge from Asia in the postwar era, Takashi Murakami effortlessly navigates between the worlds of fine art and popular culture and is best known for his cartoon-like, “superflat” style. This major traveling retrospective includes key selections spanning the artist’s career, from the early 1990s to the present. More than 90 works in various media—painting, sculpture, installation, and film—are installed in five sections, occupying over 35,000 square feet of exhibition space."
With themes ranging from mass consumerism and nuclear annihilation to sexual fetishism and coming of age, the exhibit is a gigantic retrospective of one of the most important artists of our age. Colorful, sexy, grotesque and hallucinogenic, the exhibit is a must see for fans of otaku culture and hentai!
Trevor Brown is the true master of dark macabre illustrations. Trevor's gothic lolita style has made him a huge popular artist in Japan, but his works have been published all over the world.
Itasha: Pimped rides, otaku style: Itasha are cars decorated with decals and paint jobs depicting anime, game and manga characters. The word itasha, which literally means “painful car,” is derived from the kanji for itai (”painful”) and sha (”car”). The word also appears to be a reference to the Italian sportscar, also known as itasha (although the ita for Italian is spelled with katakana instead of kanji), a conventional sort of chick magnet driven by a different sort of guy.
Origami is the Japanese name for the art of paper folding. The word is "origami", literally means to fold (oru) paper (kami).
This guys takes origami to a whole new level with his hentai paper dolls. Just imagine how long it takes just to make one of these cute paper dolls. Amazing!
"Japanese people are stereotyped as being uncreative and lacking in originality. The most common image of a japanese man is a 'salariman' in a grey suit riding on a 'bullet train' full of identically dressed men. But in fact, when he gets home at night, the porn comes out, and he's going to be much more creative and 'unique' than you or I. He's wearing an Airline Stewardess uniform and boxing gloves, watching a DVD of broccoli being put up someone's butt. Let's face it, Japanese porn consumers are so utterly perverted that the industry can't invent new kinks fast enough.
That being said, this site isn't really porn. There's no dirty pictures, or even dirty words. It's just really naughty anthropology! So even if you're not a huge masturbator, you'll still be entertained and amazed at some of the bad, bad things the Japanese have invented. The infamous used-panty vending machines are just the tip of the iceberg."
