Nagaike Takeshi: ”Rope” and ”California Club” (1995)

My first bondage teacher was Midori. Naturally, I have always been curious about her teacher, Nagaike Takeshi. A couple of years ago, Kabuki Joe put me on track with a post on his blog: http://shockingpinkcinema.blogspot.se/2012/11/nomoto-miho-and-nagaike-takeshi.html

Soon after, I found a kind of antology, edited by Dan Oniroku, that included some images from ”California Club”, one of the books mentioned by KJ – see my post here: https://kinbakubooks.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/dan-oniroku-異形の遊戯%E3%80%82deviant-pleasures/

Zetsu recently wrote an excellent feature story in Kinbaku Today – read it here: http://www.kinbakutoday.com/americas-first-japanese-bakushi/

Details on the books:

Nagaike Takeshi: ROPE―野本美穂 (Nomoto Miho)

For a book called ”Rope”, it should perhaps be noted that only about 25 pages actually involve rope-bondage. It moves from softcore nude and halfnude erotica to suspension in ropes without warning… But some of the rope-images are fantastic.

Yasuji Watanabe and Atasushi Sakai: Phantôme Japonais

This beautifully hardbound book is a piece of art in itself. It contains images and texts earlier published in the Japanese magazine SM Sniper (1997–2003) under the headline ”Shashin hyakumonogatari”. The texts (in French) are somewhat lyrical short stories with powerful, sometimes mythological, themes, illustrated with the scenes in the images. The photos are originally in black and white, but have been coloured in afterwards.

Beautifully Bound (1953) – a presentation

Publicerad den av

The book ”Beautifully bound” is one of the treasures of my collection of Japanese Kinbaku material. Some time ago, I initiated a project with this book at its focus, and in the process I commissioned the texts it contains to be translated. As the intended project has somehow stalled, I decided to at least share the images and the translated texts with the readers of this blog in the form of a short Powerpoint-presentation. The translation is a somewhat rough draft. I hope you still find it useful.
