New Self was a groundbreaking Japanese adult and subculture magazine from the 1970s, blending eroticism, underground literature, and avant-garde photography.
Edited by Akira Suei, it became a platform for provocative artistic expression.

This April 1976 issue features contributions from Tatsuo Yamazaki, Riko Ishiwatari and Makoto Sakurai, with essays and photo features on love, art, and city life. The cover model is Yumi Sasaki.

With its bold visuals and provocative tone, New Self remains a key artifact of Japan’s radical publishing scene (alongside X-Magazine JAM and Heaven).
