愛奴恋写館 (Aiyakko rensha-kan), Vol. 17 (1986)
Kinbaku magazine, featuring photos by Sugiura Norio.
I originally choose some of the images here, as they seem to show a very early example of the famous ”Mount Fuji”-pattern (albeit combined with an other pattern).
I discussed this possibility with Nuit de Tokyo, who rightly pointed out that the ”third” rope in the images ”is essentially a rope going around the body on the left and anchored ’haphazardly’ on the right, so it is essentially decorative in nature (while the Akechi version is deeply functional).”
Judging from the time (1986), some details in the rest of the ties, and from the context (Sugiura being the photographer), Nuit de Tokyo writes that ”Nureki Chimuo is the most probable bakushi (…) but it could be a number of other people influenced by Nureki, including Masato Marai.”
I have also included some images from the issue that puts a table to some creative uses.

Osada Eikichi : 緊縛の園 (Kinbaku No En, ”The Garden of Kinbaku”) (1980)
This special issue of SMファンタジア(SM Fantasia) from december 1980, is called 緊縛の園, the ”Garden of Kinbaku”
Judging from a glimpse of the bakushi in a few of the images, at least one of the sections features the rope-work of Osada Eikichi. All the images in this blog-post are from that section.

愛奴恋虐 (1989)
An issue of a full-colour, images only, pocket-size Kinbaku-magazine from 1989. I am uncertain about how it relates to Sugiura Norio’s magazine 愛奴恋写館. (See the earlier post here: https://kinbakubooks.wordpress.com/2014/07/04/愛奴恋写館-vol-6-1997/ ) If you have more information, please write me. No ISBN.

SMフォト全集 (SM collector) 1980, 1982, 1983
Sm collector was a magazine that was started in 1972 by amongs others Minomura Kou. It folded 1985. Most of the images above are from the 1980-issue. Various bakushi and models are featured, but quite a few images show Nureki’s ropework. They contain also illustrations by for example Muku Youji and, represented here with the lady holding a gun, Harukawa Namio.

Sugiura Norio: A retrospective of the first ten years (1983)
This magazine collects some of the famous kinbaku-photographer Sugiura Norio’s early work.
In an interview with Kabuki Joe, Sugiura Norio tells the story of how he started as a photo-editor of the magazine SM King in 1972: ”At first, others were taking the photographs but, according to Mr. Sugiura, the commercial photographers ”didn’t understand my requests”. The only thing left to do, to get the photos he really wanted, was to endeavor to take the pictures himself. He found his true calling this way and his lifelong career as an SM photographer was born.”

Master ”K” writes on his blog about the collaboration between the photographer Akira Ishigaki and the bakushi Roppongi Kaoru, resulting in the book ”Strange Fruits”:
”‘Strange Fruit’ was released in a limited, ‘deluxe’ edition in 1982 to only modest success in Japan. However, it did get Ishigaki (and by extension the kinbaku of Roppongi) an exhibition in 1983 at the East Bridge Gallery in New York City which then resulted in a small selection of Ishigaki’s kinbaku images being printed in the March, 1984 issue of the prestigious French photography magazine ‘Photo’, thus making the works of photographer Ishigaki and bakushi Roppongi Kaoru some of the first true Japanese kinbaku images ever presented in a Western general audience magazine.” (http://www.thebeautyofkinbaku.com/kinbakuandartchap1.html )
