Itoh Seiu: ”Pictures from Hell”
Ten cards, colour print on one side, commentary text by Itoh Seiu on the backside of each card. Carefully wrapped in two layers of paper.
Osada Steve is in the process of publishing these images, with translations of Itoh Seius commmentaries on his blog: http://tokyobound.com/blog/?p=365
Itoh Seiu ”Graphic History of Punishment in Japan”
Itoh Seiu (in collaboration with Fujisawa Ehiko)
”Graphic History of Punishment in Japan”
日本刑罰風俗図史
1948
This edition comes in two volumes. Mainly a textbook, but illustrated.
Kinbaku-paraphernalia… This makes me wonder just how well-known Itoh Seiu is in Japan. A series of eight plastic figurines, depicting Itoh Seiu and some of the scenes he created.
These are not bodies in random poses wrapped haphazardly in rope. The same company also made a series of eight figurines based on the work of Muku Youji – they do seem to have some insight into the history of kinbaku…

Akira Naka: Kinbaku-Net Vol. 1
This photo-booklet shows snapshots from a number of Akira Naka’s DVD:s. It also includes two DVD:s (”Blog works number one”, and another collection). It was signed by Akira Naka himself, for me and my rope-partner during his Master Class in London, October 2013 (each of the ten participating couples were given one).
