Pubic hair historian
Koshi Shimokawa took the latter route; he studies male obsession with female pubic hair through the ages. Or as Wai Wai puts it, obsessed beaver buffs brush up on a bushy subject. A few fetishists have not only delved deeply into this topic, but have actually assembled collections. One such gent . . . was a chap who went by the nom de plume of Takishima Kinkaran. Kinkaran was born in Tokyo in 1893 and could often be found frequenting brothels in the Hakusan area, which was established in June 1912 as Tokyo's newest licensed bordello district, not far from the University of Tokyo campus. Kinkaran was said to be a man of great personal charm, and one of his pet projects was to persuade geisha to contribute their pubic hair, which, he would tell them, he was collecting in order to stuff a zabuton cushion. Alas, he died prematurely of a respiratory illness at the age of 37, and it is not known how far along his zabuton project ever progressed. How many geisha pubes does it take to stuff a zabuton? The world may never know. Personally I would find it difficult to meditate knowing that my cushion was filled with pubic hair. Inhale, exhale, empty your mind of all thoughts, inhale, exhale, pubic hair, pubic hair, pubic hair, damnit this isn't working. In 1947, a book binder named Taro Moriyama, who went by the pseudonym of Sanbo Imogoya, produced a series of private, limited edition books. One, titled "Woman Worship," claimed to incorporate authentic female pubic hairs that, interwoven with colored threads, were used to decorate the book. Although it is not known how many such bushy books Moriyama actually produced, this bit of news resulted in some controversy, when it was revealed the hairs were not human, however, but were in fact from the mane of a black bear, and after that pubic -- sorry, make that "public" -- interest rapidly diminished. Next, historian Shimokawa introduces a gentleman named Takao Hanada, who is fondly remembered in the postwar period for being the first person to organize wife swapping in Japan, and later authored a book entitled "Exchange: a record of certain swapping encounters." After a swap session, Hanada would sort the pubic hairs collected from his female partners and tape them to the reverse sides of their husband's business cards. Sex-reseacher Saito says he was able to view a collection of some 150 cards accumulated by Hanada over a period of 10 years. Perusing the backs of these cards, he was able to appreciate the wonderful variety of lengths, shapes and textures of the hairs in Hanada's collection. Do historical pubic hair collections need to be stored in climate-controlled conditions? It would be a shame if this unique resource decayed before the crazy revisionist pubic historians get a chance to look at it.

It's hard out there for a historian. How to find a major figure, event or phenomenon that hasn't been picked over exhaustively? Some take the crazy revisionist route ("Hirohito was gay"), others find a fresh topic that no one ever thought of.
