You need to check out his web page: http://www.raidway.ne.jp/~nadeara/ He's a leading advocate for maebari, if you can believe that. He even has a page calling for its greater use (in Japanese, but you can run it through Babelfish or Google): http://www.raidway.ne.jp/~nadeara/maebari.htm

I posted a RapidShare of his Nadia/Secret of Blue Water artwork a while back: http://rapidshare.com/files/39138969/Z-vector_turquoise_nadia.zip
Lots of maebari stuff there.

Nice!


Stupid question /e/: Maebaris seem to have a similair function to chastity belts, correct or not? If not what's their culutral significance?


Also, urinating with them must be very awkward...

I believe they're only for aesthetical, i.e. to prevent nipples poking through shirts and cameltoes.

In japanese porn before digitization made mosaics easy, they were often a poor director's way of obeying censorship laws. Just like in the US, where nude dancing is outlawed in some states but it's ok if the dancers wear pasties...

Hmmm...strange..

In the vast majority of pics depicting Mikos naked you can see maebaris so I considered it an actual obligation of the ancient Mikos to "wear" them.

Since Mikos are supposed to stay virgins for the time of their service I thought "chastity stickers" aren't too farfetched.

I have no idea about mikos. They might indeed be a special case. Or it's just a hentai "tradition". Like striped panties on catgirls...

Actually there is not a virginity requirement for shrine maidens in Shinto. Some miko have had children while holding the position. Buddhist monks, I believe, are required to remain celibate.

Well, yes, you're right, it's not a binding requirement but it was strongly encouraged.

Maebari strips were only used in porn during the 60s or whenever it was.

it's more a hentai tradition that stems from the facts that Shrine maidens typically carried around slips of paper for written charms. since it's a job-specific prop, hentai artists like to incorporate it whenever possible, hence the paper wards being used as maebari. Traditionally miko would wear whatever they felt comfortable wearing and maebari would not only have been a scandalous use of a prayer strip, it would have been difficult to manufacture without creating something uncomfortable or unhealthy.
