Interesting facts

Fascination: Portrait of a Lady is a 1977 Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman porno series, directed by Kōyū Ohara and starring Naomi Tani. Known for an ability to direct well in many genres, it was the pop-art-influenced Ohara's first true S&M film.

Background

Director Kōyū Ohara had directed films at Nikkatsu in various genres, in his experimental, pop-art influenced style, earning him the nickname "King of Pop Art Porn". Though he had included some SM themes in earlier films, Fascination: Portrait of a Lady was his first true SM film. The script was written by Naomi Tani's frequent collaborator, the noted SM-author Oniroku Dan.

Of his intent in the film, Ohara said, "It represents Japanese stylistic elegance. Needless to say, Naomi Tani's beauty is an integral part of the film, but I totally devoted myself to capturing Dan's luxurious S&M world through art... by placing small art objects throughout the film."
