The world is full of the deception of "beauty" and "correctness."
People dress up, pretend to be noble, and discriminate against others, pretending to forget that they are "excreting animals".
But I want to ask:
"Are we not just bags of excrement under our skin? Are we not all raw flesh that will equally decay when we die?"
This coldly objective "Kusozu (nine stages of a decaying corpse) perspective" is the path Benzo San'untei has walked, and the one and only philosophy of Ichimonkai.
In 2001, his career began when he joined Company J.
He produced a series of shocking works such as "Noguso Noshon-outdoor peeing and pooping", "Chitai Toilet", and "Dokkiri Benjo", dragging the realms society had covered up as "unpleasant" onto the main stage of entertainment.
After becoming independent as a freelancer in 2007, his desire for expression became even more purified.
"Can't flashing Toilet", "Oka Guso", and "Zipper Houkai" which foreshadows the collapse of the flesh.
These are not merely sensational works.
They were a challenge to the "naked truth" of human beings that is exposed when the conveniences of civilization fail.
In 2010, he established "Ichimonkai", an organization to embody his ideals.
From here, his expression deepened from "phenomenon" to "concept".
These were attempts to redefine physiological phenomena that are supposed to be hidden as "the raw rhythm of life".
We are not just pornographers. We are recorders who document human karma itself.
We do not welcome hypocrites who use sophistry.
We will not overlook the gazes of those who say "discrimination is wrong" while despising their own excrement and those who love it.
What Ichimonkai creates is not just video, but a mirror to shatter the viewer's "armor called pride".
Realize that both yourself and others
are equally decaying flesh,
and give form to that "NAKED TRUTH".
Together with comrades who have such resolve,
we will continue to thrust "inconvenient truths"
before the world.
With the steps of comrades, to further abysses
