Book Description
A visual tribute to the many girls who bared all in the erotic Japanese adult films known as 'pink movies.' Pink movies flourished in 1970's Japan, contradicting the seemingly conservative culture, and pushing the artistic boundaries of porn. The beautiful, enigmatic actresses who dominated the films are featured in 100+ rare and exotic black and white portraits and film stills.
Leading Tokyo documentarist Romain Slocombe introduces 'pink movies' from a historical perspective: • how and why they flourished during the 70's • their place within Japanese culture • the increasingly popular Japanese sex scene
