From the fun and cute to the downright disturbing, each of the works presented gives a unique perspective to this largely unknown world.

Connoisseurs of Japanese gay art will be treated to works never seen before by masters such as Gengoroh Tagame, Jiraiya and Hideki Koh as well as images from such up and coming new artists as Naomichi Okutsu and many others created specifically for this exhibition.
