This is a collection of works titled "Gay Bar Nightlife Encyclopedia," which, although the publication year is not indicated, was likely published in the 1980s. The subtitle is "Special Feature: Nationwide Gay Bar Guide | Thorough Study of Cross-Dressing Beauties." It is a collection of works rich in images of gay boys working in transvestite pubs throughout Japan, including Kabukicho and Shinjuku Ni-chome, reminiscent of the portrait of Katsumi Watanabe, a representative post-war Japanese photographer who, known as the "itinerant photographer," walked the streets of Shinjuku night after night, continuously capturing the "human zoo" that lived in the nightlife of Shinjuku. It is a collection of works rich in images of gay boys working in transvestite pubs throughout Japan, including Kabukicho and Shinjuku Ni-chome. Not only are there unique portraits of people who believed in their own beauty in an era when homosexuality was not as understood as it is today, but there are also memoirs of cross-dressers, a nationwide transvestite pub guide and profiles, and even a dialogue between Carousel Maki and Junnosuke Yoshiyuki, making it an extremely rare book with rich text and images. Limited to 500 copies.
