A popular Japanese bikini model surprised netizens earlier this month after revealing a dried fish stock in the confines of her bathroom.
“This is a gravure idol‘s bathtub,” Shihomi Yoshino posted on Twitter.

Clearly, users were taken aback at the sight of fish hanging just above her tub, occupying most of the space above it. Some wondered whether she was planning to do a photo shoot or was really just bathing this way.
Long-time fans, however, were not exactly shocked — and enlightened others over the fact that the gravure idol has always been passionate about fishing.
Apparently, Yoshino’s love for fish is all over her Twitter and Instagram pages.
It goes without saying that her fridge is full of them, too.

After her initial tweet went viral, Yoshino decided to throw an impromptu photo shoot the next day.
“This is the first time one of my tweets has gone this viral, so I did a ‘dried fish gravure.’ Thanks to everyone learning about my hobby for the first time! I’m a gravure idol whose hobbies are fishing and rock climbing.”

Needless to say, people had wonderful things to comment.
“Wild and sexy!”
“Well, this is actually genius.”
“I suddenly want to become fish.”
“She’s sexy and funny at the same time.”
“‘Dried fish gravure.’ Shihomi is the best!”

Others wondered about the fish leaving her bathroom smelly, but she explained that she carefully cleans and brines them. She also uses her bathroom so that they may not be targeted by birds or be exposed to fumes.
