The Beauty of Kinbaku

Or everything you always wanted to know about Japanese erotic bondage when you suddenly realized that you didn't speak Japanese

Four years of research, much of it in Japan, has gone into the creation of this book, making it the most comprehensive volume on its subject in English.

Included in its 192 lavishly illustrated pages are chapters on:

* The origins and history of this fascinating subject -

  from ancient times to the present day.

* Its evolution as an art form, from medieval martial

  art to modern erotic pleasure.

* Twenty five mini biographies of its most notable

  artists and practitioners throughout the years.

* A photo gallery with 109 brand new and stunningly   beautiful photographs by shibari artist and teacher

  Master "K"!

* For the first time in English, an extensive glossary

  that describes and defines all of the classic kinbaku

  ties used from the past to the present.

* A clearly illustrated "How-to" section showing you    how to complete three of the most important ties

  upon which many tying patterns are based.

* An extensive bibliography.
