Upskirt Voyeur: The Sexy World of Japanese Girls by Ken-ichi Murata published by Editions Reuss (2012) Hardcover

Very much what you wouldn't expect yet some of what you normally would expect. I originally had low expectations. To my surprise I was really impressed. Very sexy and not nasty, very tastefully done.

lurid and beautiful

This book makes one feel just a little bit naughty when viewing it. And not all the photos are necessarily erotic or even nudes. Such is the power of voyeuristic photography done right. Murata has tapped deeply into the Japanese psyche here with a focus on the 'schoolgirl' and 'young bride' fantasies that is essentially a forbidden fruit peep show. This work is well titled.Viewers are treated to glimpses up skirts where the subject is wearing white panties or sometimes nothing at all. There is also just enough "classic" spread-leg imagery to really excite most viewers. All the subjects are attractive young women. Murta's composition and color photography are flawless. Fans of Japanese nudes and those who favor true voyeuristic imagery will really like this book.
