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.
