The genre's modern foundation was laid in the early 1960s with the rise of "Pink films" (Pinku Eiga) . These were low-budget, independently produced movies that featured nudity and sexual content but were not considered full pornography. The name “pink” itself was a reference to the flesh tones often featured on screen. These films were an act of rebellion and creativity, exploring themes that mainstream cinema wouldn't touch. film semi jepang
