Abe Sada: The Fantasy of Japanese Eroticism
S1 • E6 Oct 27, 2017
On May 18th 1936, Abe Sada killed her lover by "erotic asphyxia" then cut off his member and carved his name in her flesh. In a militarized Japan, the press was very interested in this crime with erotic and transgressive accents. The murder has become a classic in Japanese culture; news of this crime spread a made up image of Japan - where love and sexual urges are liberated - to the West.
