One year anniversary – Call for donations

Do you appreciate the blog Kinbaku Books? It has now existed for one year, and I have made more than 90 blogposts, sharing, cataloguing and commenting Japanese material from the 1950s until today. This blog will keep on being a free resource – however, please consider the possibility of making a small symbolic donation. Every little helps, and this would be a good moment.

Interested in supporting the blog? Send me an e-mail:  bergamott@live.se

Thank you, BB

Beautifully Bound booklet 7
After the two outstanding books ”Beautifully Bound” number 1 and 2 (aka the ”black book” and the ”red book”), a series of booklets were started: ”Beautifully Bound” numbers 3–11.
These were published by Tenseisya, Abeno Osaka
I am not certain about the order of publication, but this should be issue number 7 (1966).

SMフォト全集 (SM collector) 1980, 1982, 1983
Sm collector was a magazine that was started in 1972 by amongs others Minomura Kou. It folded 1985. Most of the images above are from the 1980-issue. Various bakushi and models are featured, but quite a few images show Nureki’s ropework. They contain also illustrations by for example Muku Youji and, represented here with the lady holding a gun, Harukawa Namio.

Yasuji Watanabe: SHOJO KINBAKU (少女緊縛)

Yasuji Watanabi is more known for his photography than his own ropework (see my earlier posts here: https://kinbakubooks.wordpress.com/?s=watanabe&submit=Sök ), but in this book, as far as I understand he is both the ”Art director” and the bakushi.
