Sex, nudity and violence -- there's a lot of it happening in Kobe.

Bare-breasted women lie around drunkenly; a naked, handcuffed beauty struggles against her restraints; and a peeping Tom masturbates while peering from behind a curtain.

No, the port city hasn't become a modern Gomorrah: It's currently hosting the controversial "Exposed: The Victorian Nude," a exhibition from Britain's Tate Gallery. After stopping in London, Munich and New York, the show has been renamed for its stint in Japan. Visitors to Kobe City Museum (and then Tokyo) will be flocking to see "The Victorian Nude: Morality and Art in 19th-century Britain."
