A detailed overview and history of "ero-guro-nansense", an editorial, artistic and literary movement of iconoclastic and subversive magazines in Japan in the 1925-1930s, ancestor and precursor of the post-war Japanese underground.

An exploration of the encounter, in the early 1960s, between the controversial—yet now world-renowned—writer Yukio Mishima (1925–1970) and Tatsumi Hijikata's (1928–1986) Dance of Darkness (Ankoku butō). This paradoxical connection remains little known and is rarely mentioned in the chronologies and biographies of this turbulent man of letters.

The life and work of the precursor of happening and streaking in Japan, Itoi Kanji (aka Dadakan, 1920-2021): the first comprehensive chrono-biographical study in Western language on the great Japanese Dadaist nudist ascetic, with a rare iconography.

First monograph dedicated to guitarist and singer Keiji Haino—the cursed angel of the Japanese underground rock scene, with a previously unpublished CD (Haino solo & Fushitsusha).

First monograph in a Western language on the subversive and radical Japanese avant-garde group Zero Jigen.
