SEDUCTIVE ART OF JAPANESE BONDAGE by Midori [Greenery Press]

Raised in Japan, Midori demystifies traditional Japanese rope bondage with lavish descriptions of seven classic forms. No loop is arbitrary as she explains the specific placement and tension for each piece of rope. Of course, Japanese bondage is about more than just restraint. It's a sculptural aesthetic, creating a pleasing, dynamic tension. Eight sumptuous color photos and over 80 clear diagrams lead you step by step through Breast Bondage with Open Leg Crab, Arm and Chest, Tortoise Shell Harness, Cross Legged Bondage, Crotch Harness, Hog Tie, and the use of the Bamboo Rod. Through it all, Midori shares her personal approach so that you, too, can become proficient. 161 pp. with photos by Craig Morey.
