Roppongi Kaoru: Goodbye Naomi – images of the queen of kinbaku (1979)
さよならナオミ SMの女王・谷ナオミ緊縛写
In 1979, the actress Naomi Tani unexpectedly decided to retire at the height of her career. The same year, she released a record with her voice – and also this beautiful photo book, with photos – some of them film stills, and a concluding listing of some of her appearances in “pink” movies involving rope.
In order not to change the focus of this blog from Japanese kinbaku photo-books, I will not enter a discourse about her movies, just mention that a few of them are available with English subtitles here: http://japaneiga.free.fr/pinku.html
For example:
“Flower and Snake” (1974)
“Wife to be Sacrificed” (1974)
“Tattooed Flower Vase” (1976)
“Noble Lady, Bound Vase” (1977)
And her last movie: “Rope and Skin” (1979)
Perhaps it should be mentioned also that she makes a rare appearance in Hideo Nakata’s documentary movie “Sadistic and Masochistic” (2002)
