Muku Youji: ”Nyotai kinbaku garo / kinbaku fotogyararyi” 1 and 2
I have very little information about these two black booklets. It seems clear that they are edited and published by Muku Youji (who also appears tying in some of the photos).
The double title 女体緊縛画廊 / 緊縛フォトギャラリィ (Nyotai kinbaku garō / kinbaku fotogyararyi ) is reflected in a division of each booklet into one section with sketches, and one section with photos. The white paper-snippets with the title however seems to be printed on a computer and pasted onto the black cover by a previous owner, so I am uncertain if this is a common reference.
As always, if any of the readers of this blog has any information, please do write a comment below, or contact me through Fetlife (kinbakubooks).

Muku Youji: Ochiai Ryuji shashin-shu 2
In his early years, Muku Youji published his work under the name Ochiai Ryuji. Among other things, he published two black booklets with kinbaku photographs in black and white, and his own sketches, called ”Ochiai Ryuji shashin-shu” 1 and 2. This is booklet 2: 落合竜二写真集Ⅱ
Very rare.
Have look on an earlier post about Muku Youji, now updated with a new link to some images that shows his modus operandi:

Slightly off topic for this blog, this is a collection of seventeen cards (about the same size as playing-cards) with kinbaku-illustrations by Muku Youji.
In his book ”The Beauty of Kinbaku” (p. 64), Master K writes about Muku Youji as a ”connoisseur of sophisticated Kinbaku” whose images are ”meticulously drawn down to the last detail”, often first making photos then the actual drawing (here is an example of this: http://www.d-b.ne.jp/yohji/muku/307.jpg ).
UPDATE February 2015: I found out that the whole series consists of 40 cards. I have now managed to get hold of them all and add to the collection.
