Nyotaimori, Body Sushi Girl
|
Promoters, eating participants, and apologists to the practice often say that nyotaimori is a form of art.
This argument is rejected by some feminists, who argue that it objectifies the woman or the man doing the serving. Guardian columnist Julie Bindel notes that the women being used to serve the food, on at least one occasion in London, looked "as if in a morgue, awaiting a postmortem."
Worldwide reception varies. For public health reasons, China has outlawed food served on naked bodies.
Tickets for naked sushi night may cost around US$75, which may include sushi, sake and champagne. Others, such as that attended by Bindel, may cost £250.
