A collection of bondage images, color and black and white, with more humor than Araki, as evidenced by the color shots of tied-up Yakuza. The height in Japanese photobooks of bondage as theater. Shot in an astonishing range of styles and presented as a sort of primer on its subject, the book was produced in collaboration with Oniroku Dan, the acknowledged king of the singular genre of Japanese SM Bondage novels and screenplays, and Kinbaku, or 'creative rope binding' master Hiroshi Urato .
