Japanese crucifixion vs. Western Crucifixion
While it is easy to find pictures and movies showing girls being crucified in the japanese Style , there is very little litterature about this topic ( could be that there is a lot wriitten in japanese but my japanese is a little rusty ;-)
The japanese had never developped this "tabu" about crucifixion like in the christian societies .
Some time ago someone sent me several video tapes with scenes from japanese TV showing all executions on the cross : he wrote me that these were mostly historical films showing the persecution of christiians in the 18th and 19th century
But you can also find these illustration currently in japanese mangas
Unlike as in the "western" crucifixion, the cross serves only to fix the condemned in a sutable manner so that she can be put to death by being transpierced with spears . Probably also to humiliate her before her death as in most films she stands there for quite a time being watched by the execution crew and some spectators.
Of course as this happens in Japan , the decency is preserved : the prisoners keep their kimonos and are delicately bound to the cross . In some films the breasts are exposed - just to fulfill the voyeuristic expectations of the contemporay customer : The motto is : BLOODY , BUT DECENT
