Shima Shikou: Nekketsu nyotai chokyo 3
This publication features the work of Shima Shikou, who is very often himself also visible in the images. Famous for his ”hard style” SM, Shima Shikou was one of the first to introduce needle play in Japan – pictures of this are also included. Lots of outdoor images and a long interview. Some colour, but most black and white photo.

Randa Mai: Kinbaku rannyo
Randa Mai: Kinbaku rannyo
A beautiful rope-focussed book in a somewhat glamorous style, including some essays. Less SM play than what at least I associate with Randa. Featuring also some examples of the art of tying persons to objects.

Yasuji Watanabe and Atasushi Sakai: Phantôme Japonais
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.

S&M Sniper, february issue, 2007
S&M Sniper, february issue, 2007
The magazine S&M Sniper (S&Mスナイパー) was published 1979–2009. It had a varied content, with a lot of advertisments. Among it’s features was Araki Nobuyoshi’s recurring photo-section ”Tokyo Kinbaku”. This particular issue made it to the blog because of its supplementary DVD, entitled ”Bondage Master Quintet”, featuring no less than Osada Steve, Miura Takumi, Kazami Ranki, Mira Kurumi (”MiracleEmi”) and Shima Shikou. The section with Miura Takumi shows a blend of shorter snippets from the (outstanding) 4-dvd series he did in close collaboration with Akechi Denki, as well as snippets from an earlier live-DVD. The section with Osada Steve has the English headine ”A foreigner is attractive – pure rope breaking!”, and shows some intense tying with the model Kazuki.

In 1993, as he moved to Japan, Trevor Brown visited several Kinbiken-meetings. He wrote about this, and a meeting in 1997, on his blog in a text that gives an interesting view: http://web.archive.org/web/20050312124436/http://www.pileup.com/babyart/kinbiken.htm
Trevor Brown kindly wrote me and added the following information: ”these images mostly copied from old Sanwa books compilations – so rope artist unknown – but almost certainly Nureki-sensei in many cases”. He also provided a link to an interview he did in the 1990s with Masami Akita, also dealing with Kinbiken: http://web.archive.org/web/19970625171403/http://www.tb-art.com/tb-art/html/archive/merzbow_interview.htm
A text by Masami Akita dealing with the history of bondage in Japan can be found online in two parts, here (1): http://www.bondageproject.com/public/history_e1.htm And here (2): http://www.bondageproject.com/public/history_e2.htm
The section at the end of part (2) deals with Kinbiken, just scroll down.
