Nippon hatsu jôchi-tai (1971)

Overview

Satoru Kobayashi was an artisan of eroticism with a wide range of styles, from works brimming with tension and ingenuity to works that were simply reckless. He reunited with his old acquaintance Giichi Nishihara and began making films with Aoi Films. He skillfully filmed erotic short stories in an anthology format, such as a man who sells fainting spells, a wife's secret, and the reality of Kansai prostitutes. The cast and crew, including the actresses, were all young and fresh. The industry was changing due to the onslaught of pornography from major studios. Around this time, Kobayashi, as if he had given up on trying to hide it, began to film women's naked bodies in a way that seemed to caress them.
