Expect whips and latex galore as Japan’s leading kinky party returns for another edition of uninhibited fun. This year’s Japan Fetish Ball promises to be even more of an eyeful than usual, thanks to the participation of local mainstays Torture Garden, Tokyo Perve, Libido and Tokyo Decadance alongside founders Tokyo Kink Society. Performers include San Francisco-based shibari expert Midori, fetish artist and dancer Jajyu, and acrobatic pole dance troupe Tokyo Dolores. Note that fetish wear is required, but there will be shops at the entrance for those needing to make a quick purchase.
