Adult Cinema of Japan by Otomo Sooya, published by Haga Shoten, is a daring series of softcover photobooks compiling movie stills from Japan's burgeoning pink film era. It delves into themes of "torment and cruelty", spotlighting Edo-period-inspired sadism in films by director Teruo Ishii—including rope bondage (kinbaku) by Takashi Tsujimura—and erotic dramas starring icon Naomi Tani. With raw, high-contrast images evoking the shadowy allure of 1970s adult cinema, this volume 1 captures the cultural underbelly of post-war Japan's sensual rebellion.
