Part 2: Subculture and Fetish Photography Section
The second half of the magazine includes various subculture themes from the era, including classic Japanese bondage, Shibari, and other fetish-style photography typical of this publication's Abutic series. The images reflect the underground aesthetics and experimental photography styles of the Showa era.
