One hundred and twenty-six portraits made in the gay bars of Tokyo in the 1970s. Nihongi photographed the dancers and the regulars of clubs in Shinjuku, Akasaka and Aoyama, and what she found there was a kind of beauty that the social norms of the time had no room for. The pictures in the book are taken from the vintage prints.
