Background

Director Masanao Sakao filmed Cruel Map of Women's Bodies for Ōkura Eiga and it was released theatrically in Japan by that studio on October 28, 1967.[2] Sakao made several films about prostitutes throughout his career.[4] In Virgins With Bad Reputations (1967), he directed Naomi Tani again, as a former prostitute trying to escape her past.[7] Sakao found his greatest success at Nihon Cinema studio with Virgins and Pimp (1968).[8]

Actress Naomi Tani, who would become known as the "Queen" of S&M film had her first experience with cinematic S&M theme in director Kin'ya Ogawa's Memoirs Of A Modern Female Doctor (also 1967). However, Cruel Map of Women's Bodies was her first film which fully explored S&M as its central theme.[4]
