"Underwears" is a collection of works edited by Japanese artist Ryosuke Banta. Banta's work includes photo criticism, essays, and editing, and he is known for his work examining the relationship between clothing, the body, and desire from a cultural historical perspective. He is renowned for his narrative style, which combines sensuality and humor to explore the politics of the gaze and the dynamics of images in everyday life. This book, part of the Graphic 2000 Series published by Sakuhinsha in 1990, traces the dreams and norms of the eras that underwear has reflected, from the era of the corset to modern-day bras, private rooms, and striptease, with numerous illustrations and concise text. With chapters such as "Underwear and Women," "The Corset Age," and "Look at Me!", this volume offers a concise interpretation of the evolution of lingerie aesthetics, examining the tactics of concealment and reveal, the evolution of materials and structure, and the forms of desire fostered by advertising. The interwoven editing of photographs, advertisements, and film stills vividly illustrates the history of imagination hidden in everyday attire.
