Toshio Saeki, often dubbed the “Godfather of Japanese Erotica,” created a body of work that merges the erotic, grotesque, and absurd with traditional Japanese aesthetics. His ink drawings—rooted in shunga, folklore, and yōkai—depict hallucinatory scenes of pleasure, horror, and perversion with clinical precision. Saeki’s images unsettle and seduce, invoking both discomfort and fascination. His influence extends beyond manga and into fashion, music, and contemporary art, with admirers ranging from Moebius to Takashi Murakami. In blending ancient myth with transgressive desire, Saeki carved a unique niche: erotic horror rendered with the elegance of classical ink painting.

A collection of Toshio Saeki’s most provocative works from 1972 to 1974, Fièvres nocturnes captures the artist’s signature blend of eroticism and grotesque horror. Originally published in SM Selecto, these illustrations showcase Saeki’s ability to merge traditional Japanese aesthetics with surreal, dreamlike imagery. His fine-line technique creates unsettling yet hypnotic compositions, reflecting themes of repression, fantasy, and the subconscious. The works explore the anxieties of a youth culture grappling with newfound freedoms, yet still bound by deep-seated societal norms. Saeki’s art, both disturbing and darkly humorous, challenges perceptions of pleasure and fear, cementing his legacy as a master of ero guro.
