"A Journey Through Mixed-Sex Hot Springs: Secret Photography" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Kenji Omori. Published by Bestsellers in 1982, this book is a visual collection of photographs taken during a trip to mixed-sex hot springs throughout Japan, capturing the atmosphere and the people who visited them. Omori is an artist who has worked on photo and visual books with themes such as hot springs, travel, and customs and culture, and this book can be said to have been born against the backdrop of the expanding leisure culture following the period of rapid economic growth. Rather than focusing on hot springs as tourist destinations, the book reflects the openness and body image of Japanese society in the late Showa era through the demeanor of the people who gather there, demonstrating a form of photographic expression that lies between documentation and entertainment. Incidentally, an A4-sized version, "A Solo Journey Through Mixed-Sex Hot Springs," was published the following year, 1983, but this is the paperback version published the previous year, with more pages.
