description
h, a book which tells the complete story of the remarkable, sensual and provocative world of Japanese erotic bondage. This completely revised and updated second edition, written by renowned authority and teacher Master "K", draws upon his 40 years of interest, study and practice, much of it in Japan and is the most comprehensive volume on its subject. Since its debut in 2008 it has been embraced world-wide as the definitive reference. In fact, it continued as a bestseller when translated into Japanese in 2013!

Here is what some of the Kinbaku luminaries in Japan had to say about the book:

Nureki Chimuo, legendary Japanese rope master, said: "It is a wonderful, complete book . . . I have never before seen a volume that expresses both such love for rope and such understanding of the subject . . . You have done a splendid job of pulling everything together into an accurate, concise work. I am just so impressed. You have my deep respect and admiration."

Naka Akira continues: ". . . when I looked inside it I was extremely surprised and impressed. Was it really possible that a book that explained Japanese kinbaku in such depth existed? . . . The content is very well put together. It's amazing!

Arisue Go comments: "Master K is the most notable and expert writer-researcher on this subject ... he has touched upon the very essence of Japan's culture in his excellent work."

Osada Steve adds: "Master "K" promises, and Master "K" delivers. This book is a masterpiece, the mother of all books on Kinbaku/Shibari. It's the yardstick with which all future books on the subject will be measured.

Included in this large format soft-cover are chapters with:

- The origins and history of Kinbaku-from ancient times to the present day

- Its evolution as an art form, from medieval martial art to modern eroticism

- Thirty mini biographies of the most famous & accomplished artists in Kinbaku history

- Nearly one hundred rare, historical illustrations and photographs, some unique to this edition

- A new photo gallery for the Second Edition with 50 stunningly beautiful photographs of ties by shibari artist and teacher Master "K", many published here for the first time!

- An extensive and expanded glossary for the Second Edition that describes and defines all of the classic and current kinbaku ties and terms

- A clearly illustrated "How-to" section showing you how to complete two of the most important ties upon which many tying patterns are based

- An extensive bibliography of all the English and Japanese literature on this fascinating subject

- An index
