Fantasy Island

I found this link on Boingboing.net. It's a photo essay about Japan's surreal fetish clubs. From the introduction, "only in Tokyo can you find entire clubs populated by faux nurses, teachers, stewardesses, and secretaries; not to mention naked karaoke, mirrored floors, life-size latex dolls, and bathtubs filled with green gel and faux-mermaids. And, as Tokyo police crack down on a wave of subway gropings, the Kabukicho district offers not one but three clubs equipped with immaculately reconstructed train cars filled with short-skirted schoolgirls who won't press charges."

The photos are excerpted from an upcoming book called Pink Box: Japan's Sex Clubs. Visit the official site here.
