Urado Hiroshi ”SM Play: You Can Play S&M” (1972)

SMプレイ1 SM耽美文学別巻2

A hardbound blue book in a printed carton slipcase.

Master ”K” writes in The Beauty of Kinbaku:

’The first useful guide to understanding and carefully practicing SM and shibari/kinbaku that I’ve seen is from 1972 and was authored by Urato Hiroshi, the talented bakushi responsible for the fine kinbaku in the Nikkatsu/Dan Oniroku films ”Wife to be Sacrificed”, ”Flower and Snake”, etc. Its title, translated on the cover into English (!) is ”SM Play: You Can Play S&M”. Like the title, the contents are simple and direct and offer general advice and photos on how to create straightforward but attractive kinbaku ties and enjoy various ”scenes”. It was an auspicious beginning for this genre.’ (p. 47)

春縛 (Shunbaku) 懐古緊縛写真集 – retro bondage photos (1997)

This ”retro” volume from 1997 adds yet another layer to the already multiple layers of historical phantasy involved in the erotic images of kinbaku, as it stages a 1970s style both in the tying, the setting, and the photography.

This is Kinoko’s first photo-book. It’s imagery shows a great variety of different moods and ties – from his famous ”cyber ropes” to more romantic sections – also featuring poems by Mebu Junichiro (also translated to English in the book).

Naka Akira: 責め縄絵巻 (Semenawa Emaki) (2011)

This 240-page full colour-book shows photos from seven different sessions, previously released on DVD by Murusou Club. (Quite like this one, but in another format: https://kinbakubooks.wordpress.com/2013/11/09/akira-naka-kinbaku-net-vol-1/ ).

One session is together with Naka’s sensei, Nureki Chimuo. Another one is dedicated to Muku Youji – and indirectly maybe also to Nureki, as Nureki very often did the tying that Muku Youji made the images of. In this session, Naka and the model Saki Momoka then use these images as inspiration. Compare my earlier post on Muku Youji’s ”Cards” here: https://kinbakubooks.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/muku-youji-cards/

Preface by Masayuki Kotoh: ”as he kneels in front of the gods Eros and Thanatos, his Kinbaku emanates beauty. His art expresses a level of poetry which approaches the sublime when compared to those around him”.

Includes a DVD.

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.

日本緊縛師列伝 (Nihon kinbakushi retsuden)

This book, edited by Sanada Nobuyuki, I found particularly interesting. It presents eight Japanese bakushi with a section of colour images of their work, and interviews: Nureki Chimuo, Akechi Denki, Shima Shikou, Hige, Marai Masato, Naka Akira, Randa Mai and Sayaka.

In addition, it has a few historical sections with black-and-white images by Itoh Seiu… and a couple of pages with images of Osada Eikichi at the Bondage bar in Shinjuku – probably taken at the same time as the images printed in the magazine in my previous blog-post (here: https://kinbakubooks.wordpress.com/2014/08/19/osada-eikichi-in-m女マニアcollector-1999/ )
