WHO’S YOUR MAMI?

She's very angry with all of you.

Though we’re a vintage art site, we sometimes look forward all the way into the 1980s for material, so today we have a brilliant photo and zoom of Japanese actress Mami Fujimura looking like trouble incarnate. Fujimura starred in several pinku movies in 1985 and 1986, notably the Nikikatsu roman porno Hana to hebi: Jigoku-hen, aka Flower and Rope: Sketch of Hell, and OL yûkaihan – Hagu!, which was part of the popular Office Lady series. Despite her short career, she’s well remembered by Japanophiles thanks to her work in other areas. As we’ve noted before, Japanese actresses were relentlessly cross-marketed, and photo books were a go-to medium to raise a performer’s profile. Fujimura starred in a photo book called Jōnetsu Airando, or “Passion Island,” but subtitled in English Sexual Message. It came from the publishers Shishobo in 1985, and we consider it one of the better examples of the photo book phenomenon. It’s where the above image came from, and numerous others are noteworthy. To prove that, we’ve included the cover and a few interior pages below. No further words are needed.
