Kazami Ranki: 極限マゾ折檻 [Hard Chastisement of a Masochist] (2017)
This is number one in a new ”True Sadist”-series by Sanwa. The photos, while often involving rope, also show whipping, kicking, strangulation through hanging, needle play, humiliation play etc. The included DVD has more of the same, but also some rather rope-centric scenes.

Kazami Ranki and Bingo Shigonawa: Now I can do it! Illustrated Shibari tutorial 2
いますぐデキる! 図説縛り方マニュアル (2015) and いますぐデキる! 図説縛り方マニュアル2 (2016)
These tutorial books, without photos but with detailed pencil illustrations and text instructions, are quite interesting. I have no information about who were involved in part 1, but part 2 was produced under the supervision of no less than Kazami Ranki and Bingo Shigonawa. All images above are from part 2.
And it is rich in content! Some basics, a gote and some leg ties from Bingo Shigonawa, and from Kazami a full three rope gote, a sturdy hip-harness, as well as several instructions for suspensions. As I recently attended a four-day intensive workshop with Kazami-san in London, it was a delight to find that the ties included here were fully up to date.
Probably due to the lack of photos, this book has not been adult rated and so is easy to get hold of also outside of Japan.

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.
