A reissue of Kyoichi Tsuzuki's photobook documenting Japan's love hotels, now in a larger coffee table edition. In the early 2000s Tsuzuki set out to record a disappearing part of urban life, photographing seventy-three rooms whose retro interiors blended fantasy and eroticism: rotating beds, mirrored ceilings and themed decor. Love hotels, or rabu hoteru, emerged in the late 1950s, partly in response to restrictions on prostitution, and offered privacy in a society where many adults live with family in small apartments. Setting pictures from the early 2000s beside more recent ones from the 2020s, the book shows how flamboyant, playful interiors have given way to more restrained and uniform designs under fire and safety regulations and changing social and economic conditions. What is lost, some argue, is a form of social and erotic imagination. It includes an introduction by historian Euphemia Franklin.
