Summary
The September 1961 issue of Gaho Fuzoku Kitan, identified on its cover and contents as the sixteenth installment, is organized around an unusually large body of staged bondage photography, supplemented by erotic illustration, fiction, translated or adapted Western material, reader-oriented features, advertisements, and publisher back matter. Its visual identity is dominated by rope as both restraint and spectacle. The principal opening gravure, Sixty Poses of Women in the Ecstasy of Bondage and Torment, moves through boats, stone steps, domestic interiors, gardens, bars, and outdoor locations. The photographs emphasize changes in posture, environment, rope placement, and facial expression, with models posed seated, standing, crouching, bound to furniture or architectural features, and restrained against trees and rough outdoor structures.
