This sex feature with Daikichi Amano comes from our friends at Toro Magazine, the site that has exactly "What Men Need To Know". |
Words: Louise Bak
Japanese art photographer Daikichi Amano assembles tableaus which refer to the ancient woodblock tradition of shunga that includes tentacle erotica. In his studio Genki Genki (meaning "good feeling), he probes unusual fetishes, with animals utilized as props in a kind of series, in which sirens are enveloped by sea creatures. The figures in his photo and film works have a certain macabre allure. Besides the sensuous processes, Amano apparently eats the animals after the shoots so as to not waste them.
Q: How did you start pairing women with creatures in your photography?
A: I don't know if it answers to how to make pairs, but I don't decide which living things are used for shooting. I provide suggestions about how I feel and we decide what will be used based on actresses' feelings.
Q: What do you think of how your work has developed using different animals with models?
A: First of all, it is not only just interests toward how scenes will turn out when living things are used on an actress and how much disgusting and fun it will become, but also the attraction is about their various features and natural beauty.
I think this type of thrill helps to improve the quality of our works.
I don't have any firm thoughts about bestiality. For me, it is not like abusing living things by force. It's like playing with them. Or it's like a human is molested by them.
Q: How do you see your use of certain forms, influenced by certain strains of Japanese marine fantasy?
A: I cannot think of anything fantasy that influences me. Many people ask me why living things, but the closest reason might be that most of these living things are used to satisfy human's hunger. On top of that, these living things can be found in stores as is and humans eat just like that, not after being chopped and they are not in their original shape.
“Yummy!” a model exclaimed, referring to the scorpion. “It tastes just like prawns!” I think their figures match with my images.
