Randa Mai: 官能緊縛ライブ写真館 (Vol 8, 1996)
Special issue of the magazine官能緊縛ライブ写真, with two ”special themes”, one of which is ”Randa Mai’s World of Eros and Kinbaku”
緊縛美 – Kinbaku-bi
Issues 12 (1971) and 2 (1972) of the pocket-size photo-magazine ”Kinbaku-bi”. Again several creative uses of furniture…
Update: The rope work is probably by Ueda Seishiro.

秘蔵版 風俗草紙 – Hizo-ban fuzoku soshi (1953)
In december 1953, the short-lived magazine 風俗草紙 (Fuzoku soshi) made a special ”treasured edition” (秘蔵版) in larger format, and 330 pages thick, opening with an 80-page better quality-paper rope-section with photos and illustrations by, among others Kita Reiko (aka Minomura Kou) who had just quit Kitan Club magazine.
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.











お楽しみグラフ: Special issue on Itoh Seiu (1961)
Magazine with some text, but mainly images: many fold-outs, some in full colour, some in black and white + one-colour. A mixture of wood-cuts, photos and ink-sketches. Approximately one third of the material is by Itoh Seiu – the rest I guess is stuff that inspired Seiu or was inspired by Seiu. Published the year of his death (1882–1961), it looks like a hommage.

Kinbiken communications
別冊緊美研通信, issues 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19

A friend in Japan helped me get hold of a box of old issues of ”Kinbiken communications”. They contain mainly text and catalogues over Kinbiken-video clips with small photos in black and white – but many of the photos are fantastic, and all of the issues have some real gems inside. The later issues (with black covers, i.e. no 18 and 19) have a larger section of photos.

緊縛美 (Kinbaku-bi, Beautiful Bondage) (1971)
This pocket-size photo-book has quite a few images with creative uses of furniture…
I have found very little information about this publication, it seems only a few issues were published in 1971-1972. As always – if you have more information, I would be happy to hear from you.
Update: The ropework is probably by Ueda Seishiro.
