Ochiai Ryūji Photo Collection II
Ochiai Ryūji Photo Collection II is a black-and-white photographic bondage album issued under Yoji Muku's pseudonym Ochiai Ryūji. The volume presents staged sequences of women bound in kneeling, seated, reclining, standing, chair-bound, and partially suspended positions, with particular attention to torso restraint, wrists bound behind the back, gags, leg bindings, post restraint, and variations in posture. As in Volume I, photographs are frequently accompanied by small line drawings that interpret or restage the photographed positions. The later pages broaden the visual range with larger erotic illustrations, connecting Muku's bondage photography to the drawn imagery for which he later became especially known.
Research notes
The Nawa-Art archive identifies this work as 落合竜二写真集Ⅱ and states that Ochiai Ryūji Photo Collections I and II were apparently later combined and issued as 緊縛の肌 by 譚奇会. The separately circulated volumes are described as having plain black covers and being distributed by mail order, and they therefore predate the 1971 publication of 緊縛の肌, although a precise publication year for Volume II is not established. SMpedia identifies 落合竜二, Ochiai Ryūji, as one of the pseudonyms of 椋陽児, Yoji Muku, and records that he produced bondage photographs as source material for his artwork. The supplied 64-page scan consists primarily of bondage photographs, short Japanese captions, and pose drawings, followed near the end by a group of larger erotic illustrations. Because the available evidence does not securely establish the original publisher or exact publication year of Volume II itself, those fields are left null.
