Diary-T 159 　YONE-chan

YONE-chan's interview was sharp.

Her planning ability as an editor was outstanding,

but her leap from there was astonishing.

I realized she is an artist whose talent as a photographer has truly blossomed.

Diving into the risqué—this isn't limited to comedy—

is, I was completely impressed, the most sought-after attitude for any creative.

Eroticism, undeniably, appeals to human instinct, not just men,

and it's easy to misunderstand.

Yet, she boldly embraces that misunderstanding,

and while her spirit and skill in diving into the risqué are remarkable,

how many photographers possess the critical eye to sharply capture the times?

In other words, the act of documenting a world of sweet eroticism, envied by all men, from her unique perspective

is undoubtedly a form of creative expression,

and it is an artistic realm that could never be reached without believing there are still unexplored territories and relentlessly pursuing them.

“What is this, just erotic photos?”

I believe I, too, had this preconception about YONE-chan's photographs until now.

Looking again at the photos I received this time, I understood that

YONE-chan was undoubtedly a pioneer.

Now, on Weibo, known as China's Twitter,

YONE-chan has an astonishing 310,145 followers.

Isn't this activity by YONE-chan a new kind of Japanese attitude?

I believe there is an expression that can only be achieved by those who fully understand eroticism.

Moreover, the artist Yonehara Yasumasa has a philosophy.

It is the philosophy of counter-culture, a rebellion against the influence of foreign thought that we have received.

It is the philosophy of not wanting anyone to stop the freedom to live.

And this is a philosophy that remains unchanged throughout the ages.

YONE-chan pursues the real-life situations.

She is a thoroughly genuine and captivating artist.

From over half a million young Chinese people, who are rather casual about it,

she is admired, called "this erotic old man," this Japanese artist

I am truly envious.
