No no, " love hotels"This is not the modern name for brothels, although you can expect everything from these inventors of the Japanese. In Japan, where people are very, and sometimes even too creative, there are indeed a number of such hotels where passionate couples can retire and embody their most cherished erotic fantasies. A photo tour of such places was made by an American photographer Misty Keaslerby naming your project " Love Hotels". Looking into the rooms of these hotels, one can only be amazed at how well everything is thought out and executed. It seems that the wildest fantasies of lovers will be able to find a way out here. If you want to take the subway, take the key to the room decorated in the appropriate style. Dreaming of sex in the men's locker room - there is such a room in the hotel, not to mention the numerous toys, helpfully located here and there in the bedrooms of the "hotels of love".
Some rooms, decorated as if they were playrooms of kindergartens or elementary grades, make you think. However, this is just a fantasy. As long as they do not go beyond the boundaries of these rooms, we can assume that everything is under control. But who knows, maybe the hotels keep a strict record of clients who choose just such interiors to make their dreams come true? So to speak, in order to avoid …
As a result of the photo tour "Love Hotels", Misty Keesler published a whole book with the same name, so that interested persons can not only hold this work in their hands and study the intimate life of the Japanese in pictures and photographs. But also to defend a couple of dissertations on this topic, arguing about how liberated (or maybe, on the contrary, squeezed and shy) the citizens of the Land of the Rising Sun are in love.

The Levitation Project. Levitation in a photo project by David Nemcsik
The career of a young Hungarian photographer David Nemczyk dates back to the entrance exams: a beginner photographer had to create a photo project for admission to the university. He immediately decided on the topic, since levitation always seemed to him something amazing and very desirable. Of course, Nemchik could not create such photographs on his own, and then friends came to his aid, who are in the pictures and soar in the air, and in the most unexpected and picturesque places. So singing
White Ainu: Despised by the Japanese, Who Created Japanese Culture
Japan has not always been populated by Asians. It took them a long time to conquer the islands from the tribes who are now known as the Ainu or Ainu. The Japanese despised the Ainu as barbarians, almost animals, but they were finally able to defeat them only when guns appeared. Moreover: a lot of things in Japanese culture came from the savages they despised, including the phenomena that are considered basic for Japanese culture
Rush hour on the Japanese subway. Photo project by Michael Wolf
In whatever city of which country and part of the world a person lives, he still has to walk every day, or rather, go to work. Except for children, retirees, disabled people, freelancers and owners of their own vehicles, of course. This means that at least once a day, each of us falls into the clutches of a nightmare phenomenon called "stampede in public transport."

How the Japanese feel about the yakuza, and what the legendary Japanese gangsters are doing today
Despite the fact that the Japanese authorities are fighting criminal groups today, the headquarters of the yakuza are often decorated with neon emblems, and their addresses can be found in directories.

In popular culture, bandits often act as noble robbers, and this tradition has a long history. Arr
