Torture Garden is probably Tokyo's best-known fetish club, having an older-sister club in London, and was brought over to Japan by club organiser Sota, who also DJs and runs a record label and rubber-clothing shop. There is more action here than at the other clubs, and despite the not-too-strict dresscode, many of the patrons seem to be getting into the heady atmosphere.

The lounge room is intimate, like someone's house, and by the end of the night, naked Japanese men are rolling around the floor writhing in pleasure while numerous mistresses are whipping them and squashing their crown jewels with pin-heeled stilettos.

Here we find Keijiro. Keijiro goes to a lot of the fetish clubs but isn't really a S&M person - he's more into cyberpunk fashion and works in military admin during the day. Still, he's probably the most fabulously dressed guy at any fetish club, and is exemplary of the fact that the fetish scene isn't only for the kinky. Many club organisers are aiming for a vibe that is hedonistic, but not necessarily perverted, and lots of club kids come to escape the conformist atmosphere of Japanese society.

As the club closes, a sub girl, ordered to be table for the night and then forgotten by her master, waits patiently on all fours while he has gone home and left her. "I only take orders from master," she says, refusing to budge.
