How many times in your life do you get the chance to eat sushi off of a naked person?

Even when I lived in Okinawa, word was you had to travel to Tokyo if you wanted to witness one of these events -- and if you were a gaijin, you'd better have connections. It was the potential experience more than the food that attracted me to Temple Restaurant & Shinto Lounge on Saturday night for the first of two nyotaimori and nantaimori evenings.

The history of eating sushi off of a person ("nyotaimori" and "nantaimori" mean "female body presentation" and "male body presentation" respectively) is a bit enigmatic, and tracking down the origins of the practice is difficult. Sources differ about whether it is a longstanding tradition among geisha or whether it is a relatively recent phenomenon owed to the yakuza.

At a private birthday party the night before, Temple staff got the chance to train in a real-life setting. Still, excitement was palpable, even as models were being prepared an hour prior to opening.

All told, it takes roughly 90 minutes to prepare a model. After hair and makeup are completed, the robed individual is surrounded by Japanese shoji screens. Behind the screens, the model's sensitive regions are covered with flowers before the sushi can be arranged on bamboo leaves atop their bodies.

More importantly, here's the slide show.

Guy in the photo in the top picture is gay, whether or not he was gay before he participated in this event remains a mystery.

So, raw fish causes teh ghey?

Saw it on tv already. This seems to be the new craze. I like sushi but I think I will forego that particular table.

How a culture that has produced so much beauty, in architechture and art, and that has such deep traditions....can come up with things like this is beyond me. Maybe they cannot find the roots of this but there is so much humiliation and debasement in Japanese lifestyle from their treatment of women and other races et al. I cannot believe that this is not another form of this by making another human no more than an object and calling it art. Do they include a bukkake selection for their desert cart?
