Poko-san and the Tokyo Plumper Girls!

I had planned on spending my day entering Pink films of 1968 into IMDb. But Twitter continues to introduce me to vast new horizons demanding immediate exploration After I had submitted the data for two or three films, the Debukawa Night account mentioned a BBW photographer called "Poko".
Photographer Poko-san, a man who loves his work, and for very good reason!
My curiosity was piqued, so I looked at his account and his website, and found a cornucopia of beautiful pictures of big, beautiful women. I think he must be the heir to the throne of Jun'ichi Natsui (夏井淳一), whose work we have researched and covered in past posts, such as September 2, 2012, September 9, 2012, July 13, 2013, July 14, 2013, and the Usagi Minagi video, PAD-016 on August 25, 2013.
Ena
I would love to see Poko photograph Usagi-san! Above is a model of his, Ena, who does resemble Usagi-san from this angle. Poko-san started his website, Minoli-do.com, in 2011, and has maintained a blog since January of this year. His books are available digitally through the gekkan site, and on Amazon's Kindle service, He also has a Youtube page with one video uploaded so far.
Tokyo Plumper Girl vol. 01: Megumi
As usual with these publications, it's difficult to find original release dates. The sales outlets tend to give the dates that the items arrived at their service, rather than the actual publication dates. For the first issue in the Tokyo Plumper Girl series, which, at five volumes, is Poko's longest-running series, I see release years of 2014, 2013 and 2012. 2012 appears to be the accurate one.
Megumi
It stars Megumi, and this volume treats us to her hand-written and recorded spoken comments.
Tokyo Plumper Girl vol. 01: Megumi/Part 2
Megumi returns for Part 2 of her appearance in the series, in Tokyo Plumper Girl #2. This time the text gives Poko's thoughts as a photographer working with BBW models.
Megumi
I have no idea if this image of Megumi is actually from this book, but I've always loved women with glasses, so here's my chance to post this one!
Tokyo Plumper Girl vol. 03: Nao
Tokyo PLUMPER Girl #03 "Nao" was published Mar 19, 2013. From what I can make out from reading his writings with my limited Japanese skills, I find I have a lot in common with him. In his profile at digital-gekkan.jp, he notes that he has been attracted to chubby women all his life, and I am the same. I remember as a child of 5 or 6 getting a secret thrill by admiring the fat legs of plump women...
Nao
Poko-san also has sympathy for the social prejudice against chubbier women, as I always have had too, since I find them so lovely...
Tokyo Plumper Girl # 04: Ena
Tokyo Plumper Girl #04, featuring "Ene" was released Apr 23, 2014.
Ene-san was one of the attendees of this month's Pochakawa Night event, and it was Pochakawa Night's mention of this photobook that alerted me to the work of Poko-san. From this angle, she looks a lot like Usagi Minagi-- one of my favorite models of all time.
Tokyo Plumper Girl # 05: Aya
The most recent issue in this series, Tokyo PLUMPER Girl #05 stars Aya, and came out on September 1, 2014.
Aya
Besides the Japanese sites, these Tokyo PLUMPER Girl books are available for Americans to download through Apple. The item descriptions at Apple note that the books contain high resolution images with handwritten messages from the models, as well as recorded voice messages which play as the pages are turned.
Sotsugyô #01: Sara
Another series put out by Poko is Sotsugyô, or "Graduation", the first volume of which came out on August 29, 2014.
Sara
I gather that the "Graduation" refers to Sara's graduation out of the sex industry. Best of luck to her in her future! What a beautiful young lady she is.
Sotsugyô #02: Sara
Sara's second "Graduation" photobook was just released, on October 10th. Given her efforts to leave the sex industry, I hope it's not too inappropriate to say, this young woman has absolutely incredible thighs! The good news is that Poko-san has said in Tweets that a third volume is coming.
Sara
The pictures of Sara are hard to find, so I'll just post what I can, even though each image is of the same photo. But what a beautiful photo it is! Normally I resize larger images to fit them into the page. But this photo must be seen in full size so that every detail can be adored. Isn't Sara absolutely gorgeous?!
Sara
In his blog entry for the day he took the cover photo, Poko says he doesn't care for pornography. And to tell the truth myself, I just tolerate it so that I can see the woman's body. I prefer soft-core pink films and female nudes. I'd be perfectly happy just seeing the women on their own, frolicking around in the nude. Even fully clothed, chubby women are a heavenly sight to me. And I certainly don't need a man in the picture blocking the view... but we have to tolerate them for the women sometimes...
Tokyo PLUMPER Lover #01 "Satsuki"
Tokyo PLUMPER Lover #01 "Satsuki" was released on March 1, 2014, and seems to be only a single volume so far.
Satsuki
My take on Japanese "hardcore" pornography-- the AVs-- is much the same with the B&D / S&M stuff in the '70s when Naomi Tani was the top Japanese erotic actress. She was my favorite then because she was such a beautiful woman, plus a very good actress-- but I could have done without all the ropes and candles... Fortunately Poko's images seem to be lacking both in males and in S&M...
Hada no jiheimen #01
Hada no jiheimen (肌の地平面) appears to be the latest of Poko's series. This one features close-up contemplations on the skin of voluptuous ladies. Hada no ji heimen #1 was released on August 29, 2014. Though presumably each volume features in this series features only one model, I could not find names.
Hada no jiheimen #01
Generally, I prefer pictures of the whole lady-- I want to see her face, at the very lease, but I have to admit, that is a spectacular landscape above!
Hada no jiheimen #02
Hada no ji heimen #1 was also released on August 29, 2014.

Hada no jiheimen #02
Though we don't get faces in this series, we do get more nudity than seems to be the case with most of Poko's other work. Though I can do without the AV-style sex, I do like the nudity... I do... I do!
Hada no jiheimen #03
Hada no ji heimen #03 was released two days ago, on October 10, and continues the series with loving looks at plump women's bodies.
Hada no jiheimen #03
The item description says that this lady was insecure about her body, but that Poko-san's intent is to show the natural beauty within. Judging from the cover, he will do a good job of that!
Hada no ji heimen #04 - due out on October 15, 2014
And just tonight Poko-san has announced the fourth volume in this series will be available online the day after tomorrow. It's nice to find such an artistic, and sensitive depiction of the larger female form in Japan. Let's hope Poko continues this fine work for many, many more years to come!
