Book Description
For the first time in English a book has been published that tells the complete story of the beautiful Japanese erotic art Kinbaku (Japanese erotic bondage): its historical roots, artistic development, key personalities and intriguing techniques. ¿The Beauty of Kinbaku¿, a new book by renowned authority and teacher Master "K", is the result of a lifetime of study and four years of intensive research, much of it in Japan, 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.
