Same Aura: Kusako Yoko

26/June/2026

I haven’t had a particular interest in fashion models

But it's not difficult for me — and for many people — to imagine why
men are attracted to models, or
why models attract men


"it’s not difficult to imagine"

Because, I feel it is the same kind of reason why I’m attracted to Kusaka Yoko

When she was 21 years old, in 1952,
she committed suicide

kusaka-yoko

Looking back,
there wasn't any particular work of hers that deeply captivated me

But somehow I kept collecting her books and thinking about her

It’s only because of a certain aura she still gives off

It is the aura that comes from the fact that she could have lived a long life, but chose not to. She chose to vanish

........Must be the same type of aura that men feel for fashion models
