Introduction
Notes Introduction 1. The members’ only Fu-zoku Shiryo-kan (not very helpfully translated into English on their website as Perverts Museum) is an initiative set up by Takakura Ichiji, a former editor of postwar sexology magazine Fu-zoku kitan (Strange tales of moral customs), and houses a large collection of postwar sex- ology magazines and erotica. For more on Takakura, see Nagae, “Adaruto-kei shuppansha no ru-tsu,” 12. 2. The description refers to Shioda, “Kimi shiru.” 3. See their website: http://www.lib.umd.edu/prange/index.jsp.

Yonezawa refers to this corpus as “mass entertainment magazines,” Sengo ero manga shi, 11, but I am not using the Japanese term taishu- bunka (mass culture) here because of its class connotations. The kasutori genre has been regarded as “low-brow” but it was not consistently so.
