In a recent interview with Osada Steve, Wykd Dave posed the question ”Are there important figures in the history of Japanese bondage that you feel we should know about in the West but that we aren’t aware of?”

After going through some of the history of Kinbaku, Steve-san answered: ”Regarding Japanese rope artists that so far have evaded the radar in the West, I’d say that Miura Takumi (神浦匠) is perhaps the most underrated nawashi outside of Japan.” (Read the whole interview with Osada Steve here: http://rope-topia.com/osada-steve-interview/ )

Here is a link to an interview Osada Steve did with Miura Takumi, from 2008: http://www.tokyobound.com/blog/?p=162

Again breaking my own rules for the blog, I include also a reference to some DVDs with Miura. While all excellent, I especially want to give my highest recommendations to the DVD series Miura did together with Akechi Denki – I have learned very much from them: 緊縛技形宝典 (1-4), 2005–2006

The DVD緊縛-緋影神縛円舞 documents a live performance from 2006.

The photo-CD-rom お母さんの秘密(with the small cover, from 2005) is with the model Camelia Tsubaki and shows rope and SM-play, including some waterbondage…

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.
