About Gay Magagine
" SABU"
The image of "SABU" created Japanese gay culture with
its own ideological nature, inside the flow of subculture after
the Second World War. This stoic world, which may be even called
somewhat right-winged, was the very thought and representation
of Mishima. His experience in the war, hangout with American
soldiers after the war, and the encounter with Yukio Mishima
became the ideology that rebelled against the rapid westernization
of Japan right after the war. This became a black point emerging
from a tube that turned into a unique gay culture which is not
be seen anywhere else in the world.
It is a subject of argument whether this ideology is relying
on the Tenno
system of Japan.
The cover art of the first number of "SABU" from Naruyama
Collection gives the piece a monumental feeling in various means.
