Tokyo Fetish - tight selection

17 images Created 10 Jul 2011

For almost a year in 2005, I explored the colorful secret world of the Tokyo fetish scene. Inspired by the people I photographed, the photos came out provoking and tempting via the playful "voyeurism" of the camera. The present an atmosphere now long gone, according to some of the then participants.

  • "KINKY": PARTY AT CLUB LA FABRIQUE - Tokyo - Show..KINKY is the lightest fetish-party of all. The dress code is not very strict and almost anyone can go. The shows vary from cute sex shows to light S&M..Ageha to the right is probably the most active female submissive show girl in the Tokyo fetish scene. She is heavily masochistic and she usually performs with sadistic masters doing shibari (Japanese bondage) shows that typically may involve candle waxing, heavy whipping and other forms of sm play. While she works within the SM sex industry as a showgirl, strangely she is still a virgin and has no interest in regular sexual relations. Her waist has been corset trained to an impossibly small size, possibly as another expression of her masochistic tendencies.

  • RUBBER BRAIN party (in club Mandala). Tokyo..RUBBER BRAIN party is more about the fashion of dressing up in rubber (with a very strict dress code! you don't get in unless you are dressed up as something) and watching the shows which are quite artistic. In this party, there was Butoh dancing, a comedy show and in the end there were sheets of rubber and a rubber chamber where people would go in wearing a mask to breath with when the air between their bodies and the rubber was extracted. They would stay there for a few seconds until they had their picture taken as a live sculpture, and then an other person would take their place.

  • DOMINATRIX CLUB "LA SIORA" at Shinjuku - Tokyo - Submisive client with Dominatrix Ria  during an S&M session. .La Siora is one of the oldest dominatrix houses in Tokyo, it was conceived xxyears ago and boasts an impressive client base of 4000 slaves, wanting to get whipped for fun. Basically paying clients come here from a variety of backgrounds to indulge in their fantasies at 30000 yen a pop (p/hour)..Rie is the manageress and head dominatrix of the establishment. When we asked her why she ever got into SM, she replies quite simply she thought it looked cool and she likes to try new things. Her specialties are whipping and shibari- Japanese rope bondage which she explains is an art unto itself that requires, months to years of practice and training. Her manner is impeccably polite, and her demeanor is pleasant, which makes her profession all the stranger given her friendly manner.
