Japanese people like to use cushions when they feel lonely, even in historical times. If you have some imagination and a bit of money, you can invest in one of the massive range of dolls around — from blow-up air dolls to lap cushions, “love cushions” to full-out silicone love dolls from Orient Industry. Otaku…

As we know, there are plenty of people in Japan with oedipal fetishes enough to make lactating milk a major subculture in the porn and sex industry. Well, this otaku took it a step further. He wanted to squeeze breasts and pump out milk so bad that he designed a computer software system that lets…

Mimi-kaki is the Japanese custom of ear-cleaning, but not just swirling a cotton bud around your lobes like any old perfunctory hygiene task — but the act of having your ears lovingly tendered to by a maternal young lass, your head traditionally resting in her lap while she soothes your worries away.

To be fair, lots of gangsters have them but that of course doesn’t mean that any girl or guy with a bit of ink on their body is in the mafia. Well, following a case where a childcare worker apparently displayed…

With the much trumpeted Tokyo Skytree finally opening this week (on a rainy, miserable day, no less), we thought we’d look over some of Japan’s bizarre mascots characters for landmarks and tourist sites.
