Additional Details

The first in a group of three titles published by The Diarrhoea-Shit Reproductive Collective of 5, and the only one attributed to a single member of the group, which also included Nobuyoshi Araki. (The other well-known title is Mizugi no Yangu Redii-Tachi [Young Ladies in Bathing Suits]). This book, with its alternately crude and cunning social commentary, reflects the distinct Provoke tradition.
