description In 1972, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko (1928-1987), translator of Georges Bataille and Marquis de Sade, publishes an essay – “Introduction to collections of girls” (Shôjo korekushon josetsu) – expanding the idea according to which girls, being objects by definition, arouse in men the desire to make a collection of them, i.e. to own several specimens of girls and preserve them in boxes. « More the individuality of a woman is restricted within the limits of her sole existence, more she is deprived of words, more she becomes nothing but a fragment of object, more man’s libido burns with a pale and burning flame », writes Shibusawa.
