'Skinship' is a widely used term in Japan describing the skin-to-skin, heart-to-heart bond between a mother and child, as well as between other family members. Kido was arrested in the US where she lived and workd, for producing so-called controversial photographs, yet she remains determined to demonstrate through her work the strength of family ties.
Skinship is regarded as an important prerequisite for the healthy development of family relationships in general, and particularly those between parents and children. From breastfeeding to cuddling, rough-and-tumble play and even bathing together, these physical interactions express close attachment. By feeling loved through touch, a child also learns to pass this on to others later in life. It is likewise considered essential to healthy development. With the rise of Western parenting styles, these Japanese child-rearing rituals gradually fell out of favour.
