Product Description

Product Description

No other country has an institution quite like the Japanese love hotel: Hotels where couples can rent heavily decorated rooms by the hour for amorous liaisons, these spaces are steeped in fantasy; and rooms cater to diverse tastes through elaborate decor ranging from simulated subway cars to religious bondage, with much kink in between. These brash rooms are fascinating in themselves, but also present a window on to a very classified aspect of this society. In eighty revealing photographs, Misty Keasler creates an astonishing document of sex and romance, public and private space in Japan. It includes a foreword by best-selling author Natsuo Kirino, and an essay by photo curator Rod Slemmons - as well as passages from hotel guest books, which lend additional humor and context to these haunting room portraits.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 3 Feb 2008
By S. Downey (Peterborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having seen a TV programme on Japanese culture, that touched on the theme of 'Love Hotels' and also working in the field of interior design, I thought this would be an interesting addition to my coffee table collection. However, on receipt I was very disappointed. The photos within mostly depicted quite shabby, seedy, bland, uninspired so-called 'themed rooms' rather than the amazing, over the top 'design fests' that I had been expecting. I guess my disappointment is more for the actual quality of the hotels rather than the book itself. I certainly won't be rushing to make a reservation having seen whats on offer!!
