Asian Photography 101: Catching the Upskirt

Rika Sato (????) Mizuki Horii (????) Aki Hoshino (????) Natsumi Kamata (?? ???)

Asia has long been known for it’s love of two things: Gadgets, such as cameras, and Sex. You can find a camera attached to almost anything that has a battery and Sex?… I don’t think I even need to go there.

In the picture below, both attributes are expressed to their fullest extent.

Welcome to class students… It’s Asian Photography 101: Catching the Upskirt.

asian photography2 Asian Photography 101: Catching the Upskirt  picture

  • Make sure the camera is on and lens cap is removed.
  • Maintain the proper angle on your camera when shooting a live upskirt.
  • Make sure your hand is steady and doesn’t shake.
  • Always keep the area of interest in direct focus.
  • Never… Ever… let morality get in the way.

    My ex lived in Japan for 5 years or so and was always lecturing how civilized and advanced Japanese society is compared to the US. Of course I would always bite my tongue and agree. Inside I would always think how could you say that about the country that brought the world bukkake.

    Tourex. Nice mysogeny. Define “cheap” female.

    The problem is that men like you take whatever you can ge and rather than acknowledging that YOU’RE the cheap-ass slob, you transfer.

    You realize that the original usage of the word bukakke had nothing to do with sex, right? Even now, the most common usage of the word deals with food. I’d be willing to say the sexual term is used more often in American than in Japan.

    To be fair, we (by we I mean the western culture) have a tendency to view all other culture through the lens and standard of our own culture. Maybe we should ask ourselves, what kind of things we do that makes other people question our morality? Granted, voyeurism should not be condoned in any shape or form, but if it is socially acceptable in certain cultures, who are we to judge?

  29. Comment by Tomi

    May 18th, 2008 at 12:38 am

    writerwriter,

    In my books, a woman in her thirties, clothes like a school girl and flashes her undies to promote her career does fit the definition of cheap. The men who flock to take her picture are not far above.

    I hope you did not miss what is happening, as it is obvious from the picture miles away?

    Whenever you criticized negative female behavior they immediately reply with your sexist or a misogynist. It is like women are program to say the same things over and over again.

    All women are prostitutes, even the chaste married ones who can be seen exchanging sex for security/status. What she is doing is no more or less honorable than what a wife does. Feminazis: you appear to inhabit a non-evidence based ideology. Get real. We live in a socially Darwinian world where people do what they can to survive and assist the human genome to self-replicate. Not everyone is a body-producer. Some peoples role is just to entertain and make life worth living for others. So, if you’re a breeder, breed, but understand that that is not for everyone. Fkn breeders lol

    None of them got arrested tho…….but its Japan so it perfecly normal for men to be openly perverts (reading porn manga on the train etc).
    But then anyones whos lived here long enough and isnt one of those idiot foreigner japanophiles who refuses to see anything bad about the place is not even remotely shocked by this kind of thing anymore.

    May 19th, 2008 at 1:16 pm

    The funniest thing about this is the reactions of the posters. The image itself is nothing major. No one spontaneously combusted because they saw someone taking an upskirt shot. I’m sure someone’s bible is warm and toasty now.
    Why do we (as American’s) insist on pushing our version of the world and condeming others when we know damn well that this sort of thing takes place here at home.
    Except that it’s usually at Bible camp and there are no girls present ;)
    Oh, and feminazis? This is another example of women “objectifying” men…what a sad state of things.

    Her name is Asuka Sawamoto, and she’s 30 years old. She promotes her amature singing gigs with up-skirt photography sessions with her fans. She basically draws a crowd with her flashing her ass and panties, and then sings to the crowd. Her singing must be pretty bad to require that kind of “help” in attracting an audience… Being 30 doesn’t help either I guess. Anyways, she has been arrested by the cops already. You can read about it here:

    May 19th, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    I really don’t see what the story is here… Is it the fact that men are attracted to vaginas? Is it that women like men being attracted to their vaginas? This is only news-worthy in a country that is overly obsessed with the prude-like “morality” of the immoral god of Abraham.

    From what I can tell, everyone in the picture is a willing participant. There are no victims here. And frankly, it’s not that big of a deal. Sex and sexuality are not crimes.

    As a side note, the chick is hot.

  78. Comment by Shonuff

    May 20th, 2008 at 8:39 am

    Women who use their bodies instead of their minds may be called cheap. This is not to be confused with women who are confident in/comfortable with their bodies.

    A major problem with “feminism”: women who propagate sexism, but disguise it as or believe it to be empowerment. (i.e. an exotic dancer)
    I think Ariel Levy has it right:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_Chauvinist_Pigs

    Side note:
    Misogyny is a more popular spelling of mysogeny, writerwriter. Not meant to be an ad hominem, but people may tend to take your arguments more seriously if you spell correctly.

    All women are not prostitutes. A wife is not having sex to gain security or status, believe it or not women are capable of enjoying sex, even if non of the ones that you have met enjoy it(maybe your doing it wrong ;) ) So no, women are not prostitutes, they do it for the exact same reasons you do or want to at least, seeing as how you couldn’t possibly find a girl with an attitude like that.
