Nyotaimori: serving food on the female body
The term Nyotaimori (女 体 盛 り), literally “to serve (the food) on the female body”, indicates the practice of eating sashimi or sushi from a woman’s body, typically naked. Originally, it is a practice of Japanese sexual fetishism, related to sitophilia, spread to the luxury restaurants of the United States of America. It is better known as “body sushi” or “naked sushi”, which means that a girl is made to lie naked on the table while the chef covers her with sashimi and other foods.
From here came my idea of photographically representing this type of very fascinating practice through artistic shots where the beauty of the lines of a female body becomes a refined place for dishes to be enjoyed in an ecstasy of total pleasure.
