Tokyo Cinerotix: 100 Scenes from Classic Japanese Sexploitation Cinema

Kagami Jigoku Kobayashi

Japanese sexploitation cinema of the late 1960s and 1970s was dominated by companies such as Toei and Nikkatsu, whose roman porno brand is among the most well-known of all erotic film series.

TOKYO CINEROTIX showcases 100 scenes from Japanese sexploitation films of this period, originally issued by Nikkatsu and other companies as 5 X 7 inch promotion stills. The stills are taken from the personal collection of the book's editor, Kagami Jigoku Kobayashi (also curator of the popular Tokyo Cinegraphix series).

TOKYO CINEROTIX presents a stimulating snapshot from a time past to commemorate some of world's classic sexploitation cinema, never explicit but crafted with a uniquely Japanese visual flair for the erotic that can never be recaptured.
