HEROIQUE PURGATORY Japanese poster (1970) - The Art Of The Erotic Japanese movie poster (Part 1)

SEX in Japan is always perceived as a catalogue of Cliches: Bondage, old libidinous men collecting schoolgirls’s underwear, bondage, perversion….while most are true, it certainly shouldn’t detract from the fact that among the Erotic movie genre, the Japanese posters stand at the top of the artistic pile.

The 10 Part blog starting here will feature 10 images showing both domestic Japanese erotic movies - known as Pink movies - and Foreign movies who made a mark in japan and around the world and remain Cult Classics of the Erotic cinema genre known as Sexploitation

The first poster is for one of the most visually arresting movies of the era mixing soft porn and Nouvelle Vague (also know known as nuberu bagu in japanese) Rengaku eroica from acclaimed director Yoshishige Yoshida. 

The poster perfectly captures the vibe of the movie while remaining vividly erotic (the head of the small male character is perfectly placed on top of the woman’s nipple creating an impression of censorship). The artist is Kiroku Higaki.
