The Jinri Experience

Per definition, Gravure a printing process that uses an etched or engraved plate. How this got adapted and redefined to the Japanese language is unknown. In Japan, Gravure is considered a form of art whereby a pre-teen or teen female idol poses for clothed, semi-clothed, or nude pictures in various positions and costumes. The pictures are published in magazine form, featuring only this female model and no others.

And according to photographer Jay Tablante and I quote, "Sadly though, these girls (Gravure Idols) are usually Japanese, thus destroying the fantasy of the so-pretty-yet-so-normal girl who could be living right next door. For us, they have remained mere downloads, but they have never been familiar faces. Well, not until now."

The Jinri Experience is the country’s first ever gravure book, featuring arguably our best example of an emerging “idol”: radio DJ, model, FHM Philippines columnist, and cosplayer Jinri Park.

The Jinri Experience was launched last August 5 and now available in National Bookstore. Truly one experience you don't wanna miss!
