“Married Woman Kidnapping Bar” Directing Notes
Let’s change the title “Married Woman Kidnapping Bar” to “Married Woman Confinement Bar.” Yeah, this one’s better. But this is still just a working title. It might end up being a completely different title altogether. But for now, this is the title that fits the mood best. Alright, I’ll start jottin…
Read translation“High High High” and “Low Low Low”
I had intended to conclude my writing about the “Married Woman Confinement Bar” last time, but Mika Suzume-san sent me another startlingly insightful opinion, so I’ve decided to write one more continuation. The characters 上 and 下 are used here, meaning up and down. Nureki is effectively using them a…
Read translationNaojiro with rope on his back
For the first time in two years, I bound the Yokohama noblewoman, Hide Ishitani-san. (For details about this, Hide-san, please refer to my sixth paperback book, “Bondage: As Long as I Live,” published by Kawade Shobo Shinsha. Those interested may find it informative.) As I bound Hide-san’s hands beh…
Read translationThe Blue Flame in the Depths of Her Eyes
I’m not particularly interested in models who act like models. That’s because with such women, you know their “reaction” even before you start tying them up. (This may sound presumptuous and arrogant, but please forgive me. I’ve been in this world too long and have had far too many encounters with w…
Read translationAiming for “Gruesome Beauty”
To Director ZOU. I’ve found an excellent model who could potentially appear in “Dream Rope.” Her name is Masako Kiyota. I won’t mention her age, appearance, proportions, or other details here. Please read the text I am about to write. If it piques your interest, Director, please arrange to meet her.…
Read translationA Treasure Trove of Ideas for SM Historical Fiction
You might think that I only write this kind of stuff, things like “The Blue Flame in the Depths of Her Eyes” or “Aiming for Gruesome Beauty,” but that’s not really the case. Just the other day, I received a splendid new book from a distinguished scholar who specializes in researching the history of …

Good morning. I went to see Kikunosuke’s Masaoka. Until just recently, he was appearing in TV commercials, a boy with droopy eyes and a sloppy face, who could only manage a lisping voice. Honestly, I was half worried whether he could pull off the role of Masaoka in “The Late Hagi.” More than worried…
Read translationGrotesque Theater Extravaganza
Good morning. Thanks to R-ko’s kindness once again this month, I was able to see many, many wonderful plays. As always, I was able to fully experience the stage of the finest actors of our time from the best seats (also the best in terms of ticket price), seats that were easy to see from. It was a m…
Read translationThe Theme of Kotobuki Theater
I carefully keep a thin program book. I’ve had it since a time so long ago I can’t even remember, since my childhood, in other words. It’s the “program” for the “Hanagata Kabuki Troupe” issued on May 1, 1944. In the world of Kabuki, programs are generally called “synopses11.” On the cover of this pr…
Read translationAbout the Tsurukame Theater
When I was fifteen, I saw many human corpses. Not in pictures or photographs. I saw them in reality, with my own eyes. Up close. I even walked over corpses. The road was completely covered with corpses piled on top of each other, overflowing. I couldn’t move forward without stepping on them. Searchi…
Read translationThe Smell of Mud Paint
Adjacent to the Tsurukame Theater stood Katsushika-so, a dilapidated two-story wooden apartment building. Ten rooms lined each floor, with each unit partitioned into a single six-mat room like a matchbox. Toilets, kitchens, and baths were shared. Upon removing shoes at the first-floor entrance, a ha…
Read translationShimikin and Asagiri Kyoko
I was utterly hopeless at physical labor. More than just hopeless, the very idea of heavy work terrified me, and since I only enjoyed drawing pictures and writing, the moment I moved to the second-floor room in the barracks-style building that housed the Welfare Department’s Public Relations Section…
Read translationThe Unconventional Talents of the Public Relations Theater Company
I can only understand the phenomena that unfolded before my eyes in this era. I was still only fifteen. Under something called the Student Mobilization Order, I was dragged out of my school district classroom against my will and brought to a massive factory manufacturing weapons. Looking right or le…
Read translationButt on a Saddle
Ichimura Masako’s butt is seated on the bicycle saddle. More than resting, she clings to the saddle. More than clinging, it would be more accurate to say the flesh of her butt, tightly encased in her pants, digs in slightly. Every time Ichimura Masako pedals with force, that flesh of her buttocks mo…
Read translationThe Age of Famine for Bondage Photography
“Though this is but a farce, I humbly offer my opening remarks (ヽ).” In old plays, this would be the moment when the actor stepped out from behind the curtain at center stage, knelt in seiza, and bowed deeply with hands clasped toward the audience seats. In other words, this passage suddenly shifts …
Read translationFarewell, Loose Bonds
I will set aside the farce for now and write a little about when I was hired as a rigger on another company’s film set. Truthfully, I’ve wanted to write about this for some time, but never had the chance. By coincidence, I got a call from Yuri Sunohara at Fuji Planning, asking, “We’d like to revive …
Read translationTwenty Seconds is Better than an Hour
Well, this person named “Mika Suzume” truly understands what I write and say so well. I’m always amazed by the accuracy and depth of her comprehension. I’m left speechless by her sharpness of expression, a skill I myself lack. Her brilliance is so overwhelming that sometimes I feel like I might fain…
Read translationWhile Getting Incredibly Wet
The novel Double Fantasy, serialized in Weekly Bunshun by author Yuka Murayama, has been published as a single volume. Back then, I found it in the waiting room of the dentist I was seeing for treatment. I read it sporadically in Weekly Bunshun and found it interesting, so I decided to read the whol…
Read translationBlood-Red Smoke at Takada’s Horse Market
I’ve taken quite a detour. This time I’ll write about the Tsurukame Theater. Before that, I must briefly mention how I met Kataoka Tobei through Hitachi’s public relations theater troupe. Had I not crossed paths with Tobei, I doubt I would have ended up joining the Tsurukame Theater troupe, no matte…
Read translationThe Beginning of the Fukujiro Era
Led by Kataoka Tobei, I went to the dressing room of the Tsurukame Theater for the first time. Unlike the entrance to a theater dressing room I had imagined, it was clearly the entrance to a two-story wooden apartment building that couldn’t be called particularly upscale. “The first floor of this ap…
