Akari Maeda Squats for a Candid Unkotare Toilet Solo

Unkotare's plain, documentary approach suits Akari Maeda well. She steps up to the bowl and works through it calmly, without any staged drama, letting the candid framing do the work. There is an honest, everyday feel to this Japanese toilet solo that fans of the label prize highly.

The slightly grainy image quality only reinforces the fly-on-the-wall atmosphere, as though you have simply been let into the stall with her. For lovers of understated, realistic Japanese scat, Akari and Unkotare are a fitting match.
