Nobuyoshi Araki - Tokyo Lucky Hole - 1990

Tokyo Lucky Hole” by Nobuyoshi Araki The term “lucky hole” refers to a “hole made in plywood,” where customers enter a private booth, lower their pants, and insert their genitals into the hole. On the other side, a woman provides a massage service to the male customer’s exposed organ. This book is a photojournalistic documentation of the unique sex industry establishments in Tokyo, particularly around Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district, during the period surrounding the implementation of Japan’s revised Entertainment Business Control Law in 1985. It features venues such as no-panty coffee shops, dating cafés, S&M shows, peeping theaters, and fashion massage parlors, all captured through the lens of Nobuyoshi Araki. The photographs were taken between 1983 and 1987, offering a fascinating glimpse into Tokyo’s adult entertainment scene of that era through the eyes of a renowned photographer. - Shipping method I ship by Japan Post or Yamato Transport.
