Naked Apron

The Naked Apron, also called Hadaka Apron, is the practice of wearing a coventional apron over a nude body. It is a popular concept for both pornography and fanservice.

History
The practise was originally seen on erotic pin-up pictures during World War II; titillating shots of women in otherwise normal domestic situations, such as cooking or cleaning. These images, among others, were emulated by Japanese artists during the time when Manga began to develop as an art form and became a part of the country's visual culture.

The design of the practise is based on the theme of domestic sexuality; involving levels of modesty, seduction, and submissiveness. The idea of a woman subtly seducing her lover by surprising him that behind the apron she isn't wearing anything. The practise is frequently used in the media for erotic surprises; allowing the character to appear with modesty preserved from the front but with a risqué surprise for the viewer when they turn around. While the practise largely entails that the practitioner is naked underneath the apron, variants can feature the practitioner wearing undergarments, Lingerie or a swimsuit underneath instead.
