Large format, hardbound, coffee-table style photo-book.
This is a collection of photos and illustrations edited by Dan Oniroku in 1996. The contents are quite varied – Kinichi Tanaka’s photos of Kate Asabuki, tied by Akechi Denki, stands out. Most of Tanaka’s photos are taken from the book ”Pleasure and a little pain” that was published the year before – one, however is from the same photo-shoot but not included in the earlier book.
As a curiosity, it can be mentioned that the book also features photos taken by the American photographer Ken Marcus, who the same year (1996) also published a photo-book with bondage-photos in Japan called ”California Club”. (And in 2009, he took the pictures for the Two Knotty Boys ”Back on the Ropes”…)
