Naka Akira & Hourai Kasumi & Sugiura Norio: Itoh Seiu edition (2017)

極私的緊縛野史 蓬莱かすみ 第二弾 (伊藤晴雨編)

This is the second photo-project released by Sugiura, with Naka tying Hourai Kasumi.

This time, they have taken special inspiration from Itoh Seiu.

See my post about the first one here.

A B5-size booklet with fantastic photographs, and a 95 minutes DVD. You can see a short clip on Sugiura’s website here: http://www.sugiuranorio.tv/top/products/detail.php?product_id=1814

This is VERY powerful material, a meeting between kinbaku-masters, seeking beauty in suffering, honouring the late Itoh.

This is a limited edition publication. I was happy to get it directly from Hourai Kasumi during her workshop in Paris this Spring with her signature on the cover.

Kinoko, Hourai & Naka:  緊縛綺譚 (Kinbaku Kitan)

It is rare to find such a concentration of quality in one single publication as is the case here.

Master Kinbaku photographer Sugiura Norio has put together photos from multiple shootings with Kinoko, Hourai and Naka. Pictures capturing something like 20 models doing outstanding work is included.

Biographies of the photographer and the three bakushi are included, as well as individual picture bylines crediting the models, in English as well as Japanese. (Although in a poetic and enigmatic moment, the English bio of Hourai ends with the note: ”Text not translated from the Japanese version of Hourai’s profile above”.)

A4-size, soft-cover, 98 pages, full colour.

Hourai Kasumi, Naka Akira, Sugiura Norio: 極私的緊縛野史 蓬莱かすみ  /  Gokushiteki Kinbaku yashi   Kasumi Hourai

This is an extraordinary publication. A collaboration between master photographer Sugiura Norio (born 1942), nawashi Naka Akira (born 1959) and nawashi Hourai Kasumi (born 1980).

I do not know of any other Japanese kinbaku-publication where a person switches, and acts both in the role of tying and in the role of being tied.

It has three elements:

* A booklet with fantastic photos by Sugiura, of Hourai tied by Naka.

* A DVD with Hourai tying  御前珠里, directed by Sugiura

* A DVD with Naka tying Hourai, directed by Sugiura

This limited edition came with an additional collector’s photo, signed by Sugiura Norio.

Hourai Kasumi in SM Mania 2010 and 2015 – and DVDs

As far as I know, there is still no full photo-book with Hourai Kasumi’s work. (But see the next post, about her collaboration with Sugiura Norio and Naka Akira.)

Here are images from two issues of Mania Club [マニア倶楽部], Vol. 18, 2010 and Vol. 49, 2015.

The issue from 2015 was presented to me and my partner as a gift from Nao Nagasawa (who is the person tied in the images), after she and Hourai had been visiting us in Stockholm Sweden. The images were taken during the shooting of a DVD.

Please also read my interview with Kasumi here:

Also worth a read, Yuki Sakurai interviewed Nao Nagasawa here:

I include – again deviating somewhat from the format of the KinbakuBooks blog – a reference to DVDs by Hourai in my collection so far:

First movie, with the motto (in English): ”The Beauty of Shibari exceeds Eros”:

女流緊縛師・蓬莱かすみの耽美の世界」 相・慕・縄 (2012)

Two DVDs with US Models:

蓬莱かすみ耽美の世界 縄の絆 羅府編 第一章 (2013)

蓬莱かすみ耽美の世界 縄の絆 羅府編 第二章 (2013)

A series of three movies, the last one with the caption (in English) ”Hourai has been a professional female bondage artist for sixteen years. Trained by Denki Akechi and Hajime Kinoko, Hourai aims to transmit the Japanese beauty and spirit of her kinbaku to the world.”
