Description
From Wikipedia Gravure idols (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru?) are Japanese models who work in a variety of media ranging from glossy mens magazines to DVD Idol movies. Although commonly associated with swimsuit modelling, a wide range of gravure modelling is done wearing clothing ranging from the traditional kimono to normal fashion street clothing, sports clothing and lingerie. There are a number of common set pieces that many gravure models perform, posing in running water in a variety of clothing to emphasise the wet look, wearing school uniforms to emphasise their youth and in some cases in glamorous and unusual locations outside of Japan to provide a different context for the work.

Yeah "gravure" refers to the process for printing the photos and creates very high quality images.
It's one of the reasons I like the Japanese Gravure Idols -- so many high quality images out there - and some very beautiful women.
Thanks again
