One of the best photobook on Kinbaku ( Japanese Bondage Art ) , by Norio Sugiura , the best photographer in the genre and one of the best Kinbakushi ( Bondage Artist ) , this edition is unusual as Sugiura took 3 Shibari with him ( Rope's master ) and surely three of the best 10 in Japan, Hajime Kinoko ( who signed the book on his presentation page ), Kasumi Hourai and Akira Naka ( maybe the best ) , you will note also the presence of the actress and model ( specialist of Bondage art ) Miho who is Sugiura's campanion. Several chapters, a complete lexique, a biography of each artist in Japanese and English langage. Unusual format too , 21 x 29,7 cm ( usually, Sugiura's books are 21 x 15 cm ) The conditions stayed excellent , few opened, one small bump on each corner ( photos), another corner very slightly worn ( photo) and a red felt line at the bottom
