New Kinbaku Collection Book
Mar 21, 2023

*** ARRIVED to USA and already sold out! USA will restock mid to late April. I guessed a little incorrectly on the front cover. Which is also hand SIGNED by Hajime Sorayama! New photo added. ***
Not quite yet published but coming very soon!! I received preview images a little while ago and the order has been placed - I am not 100% sure the cover is going to look exactly like this but interior pages will be correct. ^_^

Available for PRE-ORDER with expected arrival to USA at the very beginning of April. EU will receive a little while later in mid or possibly later April.
Over 330 pages of hardcore rope bondage and torture, "KINBAKU The Golden Age of Japanese Restrained & Tortured Artworks" includes artworks from NINE artists! Kou Minomura, Yoko Ozuma, Yoji Muku, Ran Akiyoshi, Hajime Sorayama, Hiroaki Samura, Shoji Oki, Gengoroh Tagame, and Miyabi Kyodo. Book is the same size as the recent Namio Harukawa books "Incredible Femdom Art" and "Facesittings are Forever" as well as Gekko Hayashi "Boys Love" book.

ADULTS ONLY!!!! This is not a book about tenderness, love, and gentle play.
