Editorial review:
Traditional Japanese male images are often associated with
images such as tattoos, short black hair, and white
loincloths. All of these and more are in this book.
The book rediscovers and reevaluates gay erotic artists
whose work had been considered ephemeral entertainment in
gay magazines.
This book, as suggested by the subtitle "artists from the
time of the birth of gay magazines," includes provocative
gay erotic art by Okawa Tatsuji, Funayama Sanshi, Mishima
Go, and Hirano Go, who contributed to early Japanese gay
magazines such as "Barazoku," "Sabu," "Adon." It also
features anonymous artists
pieces from the magazine "Fuzokukitan."
In addition to the wonderful high-quality reproductions of
rare drawings from the past, this book features detailed
descriptions, in both Japanese and English, of the artists
and a history of gay erotic art in Japan by the
contemporary gay erotic artist, Tagame Gengoroh. This
path-breaking contribution to gay culture is the first
book of its kind on the art of the emerging gay Japanese
sub-culture.
