Nureki Chimuo: Venus Club (1994 and 1995)

Venus Club was a series of very small pocket-books with photos of relatively ”light” rope bondage published in the mid-1990s, often featuring rope by Chimuo Nureki. See for example the way a third rope is added around the waist in the two first images I have included here, going over one shoulder, around the back-friction and back over the other shoulder, finishing in a slightly asymmetrical way, adding an extra line to the right half of the lower wrap… Today, not surprisingly, something similar is often seen in Akira Naka’s ties.
