'Document Commuter Train' by Ikko Kagari
Sold Out
Ikko Kagari together with Yoshiyuki Kohei are the two best-known masters of 'chikan' photography. Chikan means 'pervert' or 'groper'. These images were taken with Infrared flash to evade detection. Eventually, Japanese women complained about various chikan abuses and 'women-only' train carriages were introduced.
