Urado Hiroshi ”SM Play: You Can Play S&M” (1972)

SMプレイ1 SM耽美文学別巻2

A hardbound blue book in a printed carton slipcase.

Master ”K” writes in The Beauty of Kinbaku:

’The first useful guide to understanding and carefully practicing SM and shibari/kinbaku that I’ve seen is from 1972 and was authored by Urato Hiroshi, the talented bakushi responsible for the fine kinbaku in the Nikkatsu/Dan Oniroku films ”Wife to be Sacrificed”, ”Flower and Snake”, etc. Its title, translated on the cover into English (!) is ”SM Play: You Can Play S&M”. Like the title, the contents are simple and direct and offer general advice and photos on how to create straightforward but attractive kinbaku ties and enjoy various ”scenes”. It was an auspicious beginning for this genre.’ (p. 47)

春縛 (Shunbaku) 懐古緊縛写真集 – retro bondage photos (1997)

This ”retro” volume from 1997 adds yet another layer to the already multiple layers of historical phantasy involved in the erotic images of kinbaku, as it stages a 1970s style both in the tying, the setting, and the photography.
