In "Pink Box," photographer Joan Sinclair takes us on a journey inside the secret world of "fuzoku" (commercial sex) in Japan, a world where "kawaii" (cute) collides with consumerism and sex. Unrivaled in their creativity and the sheer number of choices, the clubs featured in this book offer their clientele every fantasy imaginable. Subway groping, visits to the nurse's office, and comic book character encounters are just the beginning of the immense list of possibilities that are played out in colorful playrooms for adults where no detail is overlooked. Sinclair's photographs capture it all, while an introduction by sociologist James Farrer provides a brief history of commercial sex in Japan and places the images in the context of contemporary Japanese culture.Sinclair, Joan is the author of 'Pink Box Inside Japan's Sex Clubs', published 2006 under ISBN 9780810992597 and ISBN 0810992590.
