Rope: Shigeru Kayama
Editor: Dan Oniroku
Publisher: Haga Shoten, 1969 (no. 1, 2 & 3); 1970 (no. 4&5)
This is a collection of photos and illustrations edited by Dan Oniroku in 1996. The contents are quite varied – Kinichi Tanaka’s photos of Kate Asabuki, tied by Akechi Denki, stands out. Most of Tanaka’s photos are taken from the book ”Pleasure and a little pain” that was published the year before – one, however is from the same photo-shoot but not included in the earlier book.
As a curiosity, it can be mentioned that the book also features photos taken by the American photographer Ken Marcus, who the same year (1996) also published a photo-book with bondage-photos in Japan called ”California Club”. (And in 2009, he took the pictures for the Two Knotty Boys ”Back on the Ropes”…)

First edition, 500 copies
A black slipcase with a hardbound book, the second one from Sanwa collecting the work of the artist Miyabi Kyodo.
Master K writes in ”The Beauty of Kinbaku”:
”Miyabi’s SM art is like no other’s in Japan (…) [He] continues the traditions of evocative seme-e begun in the early Edo era that inspired the SM pioneer Itoh Seiyu, encompassed the mid-twentieth century genius of Kita Reiko, and still resonate with us today in the intriguing and artistic world of modern shibari/kinbaku.” (p. 84)
