● Hihoukan (Treasure Palaces)
Born in the 1970s amidst an unprecedented tourism boom, “Hihoukan” were adult entertainment facilities situated in tourist spots. Each palace’s production, brimming with innovative and bizarre creativity, still feels fresh in the modern context. These amusement parks of sexuality, created during the Showa era, resemble art spaces. The book includes photos and manuscripts from 2023 documenting what happened to these Hihoukan.
● Love Hotels
Love hotels encapsulate the sensual aura of the Showa and Heisei eras.
In the 2000s, as they rapidly started to disappear, the author searched for interiors overflowing with playful spirit, documenting a total of 73 rooms – a testament to the adult’s night-time fantasies. The book also features the latest love hotel designs from 2023.
