Uramado Magazine – examples from 1961 and 1962

Minomura Kou was the editor of the Magazine ”Uramado” (裏窓) 1956-1962, after which Nureki took over, being the editor under the name ”Yu Fujimi” from 1962 until the magazine’s end in 1965. Hiroshi Urado and Muku Youji were also in the editorial group at Kubo Shoten publishers during the Nureki-years. Here are some examples from number 8 and 11 from 1961 and number 4 from 1962, including a series of poses ”without rope”, and a commercial advertisment for John Willie’s ”Sweet Gwendoline”…

Nureki Chimuo: 「縄の奴隷たち」 ”Slaves of the rope” and 「妖しい縄」”Mysterious rope”, both in the ”Night Books”-series, SM恍惚小説 (SM ecstasy novel)

Nureki devoted something like 60 years of his life to rope-related activities, using many pseudonyms. These two fictional books, both from 1969, are called ”Slaves of the rope” and ”Mysterious rope”, both published under a name Nureki used for much of his editorial work as well as when writing: Yu Fujimi (藤見郁). Paperback format, 200 pages each, mainly text but with some photos and drawings.

White booklet 耽美芸術グラフ 第一集 (1964)

IMG_8235 IMG_8236 IMG_8237 IMG_8238 IMG_8241

耽美芸術グラフ 第一集

This white booklet is called  耽美芸術グラフ 第一集  ”Tanbi geijutsu gurafu – dai isshu” (”Aesthetic art images – first collection”) and was published in 1964. It contains both photos and sketches. According to SMpedia, it was published when the magazine Uramado was suspended. The editor is ”Yu Fujimu”, one of the pseudonyms used by Nureki, but you also see the the hands of the rest of the contributors from Uramado, such as Muku. I will dig a bit more when time allows, and return with a post about Uramado as well. As far as I understand, there was only one issue of this photo-only magazine. Shortly afterwards, the publication of ”Suspense Magazine” starts, as a successor to Uramado.

Kitan Club, special Kinbaku Photo issue, december 1970

奇譚クラブ 臨時増刊号 女体緊縛写真集

This is a special edition of Kitan Club, extra thick and printed on glossy paper, Kinbaku photos only (normally, Kitan Club would mainly be text, and only some sections of photos). Quite a few images with both extraordinary ropework, and great photography in my opinion.

Muku Youji: ”縄 Jyo” (2000)

Muku Youji: ” Jyo” (2000)

『椋陽児 縄 Jyo』

A cardboard box, containing a sturdy and large-format book with a retrospect of Muku’s artwork, some in colour, mostly in black and white. It may be reasonably assumed that most of the rope-work in the images is by Nureki. The last pages show also some of Muku’s manga.

The title combines the sign ”nawa” (rope) with ”Jyo”. I am uncertain if this in any way is related to Yukimura’s expression ”Jyowa”, that recently was used by Pedro Diniz Reis for a very interesting movie about Kinbaku (see http://www.jyowa.com ).

Limited edition, 1500 numbered copies, this is number 1227.
