Summary

The August 1961 issue of Fuzoku Kitan is a large and unusually varied issue combining extensive bondage photography, punishment imagery, fetish-oriented essays, autobiographical testimony, homosexuality and cross-dressing columns, sensational historical material, serialized fiction, and reader correspondence. Its central editorial feature, Fetishists, examines people whose erotic interests are organized around clothing, underwear, buttocks, fundoshi, leather, neckties, and other objects or bodily fixations. The issue treats fetishism alternately as personal confession, sexual psychology, eccentric collecting, subcultural identity, and a potential source of socially disruptive behavior.

The front third is dominated by visual material. A long gravure sequence titled Women’s Bondage, Men’s Bondage presents women and men restrained with rope in tatami rooms, beside pillars, outdoors, on rocks, and in deliberately cramped positions. Individual captions emphasize bodily pain, facial expression, spatial confinement, rope pressure, and differences between male and female bondage. This is followed by Tagami Keiko’s selected female-torment illustrations, a photographic sequence of severe sadistic tableaux, and an illustrated survey of medieval European torture instruments. Together these sections establish punishment and restraint as both erotic spectacle and historical curiosity.

The fetishism feature begins with an editorial introduction by Okumura Sekio and continues through Shishimura Yutaka’s portrait of an eccentric collector, Ichinose Etsuko’s discussion of women attracted to leather, Nonaka Kimi’s autobiographical fixation on an older woman’s buttocks, Wake Hisashi’s account of a woman obsessed with fundoshi, Kuga Ryohei’s pursuit of women’s buttocks, and Tani Kanta’s masochistic necktie fantasy. Later essays shift toward lesbian life, homosexuality, and the relation between male homosexuality and women. A sensational illustrated piece about Ingeborg in Hamburg introduces European sadistic imagery, while Homo Window and related columns provide shorter observations on homosexual subculture.

The latter half returns repeatedly to punishment and confession. Mano Rei’s Mass Killing Order continues a wartime atrocity serial; Ashidate Eikichi’s Flame Emperor Temple supplies historical erotic fiction; Banba Takeo’s A Young Lady Who Lives by the Whip presents a female sadist; Natsukawa Kinuko’s Enema, Moxa, and Bondage combines several bodily fetishes in a first-person account; and Oikawa Kon’s Full-Nude Beauty’s Gruesome Seppuku Illustrated explores eroticized female suicide imagery. Ezaki Kyoko’s A Day with My Fiancé and the Cross-Dressing Enthusiasts’ Room shift toward intimate testimony and gender presentation before Aoyama Miekichi’s Wandering in Ecstatic Torment: The Hair-Torment Room occupies much of the closing fiction section. Reader Salon, advertisements, mail-order notices, back-issue listings, and editorial information conclude an issue whose identity rests on the intersection of fetish documentation, erotic fantasy, reader community, and visual cultures of bondage and punishment.
