Summary
The July 1974 issue of Kitan Club is organized around an unusually large body of bondage photography followed by reportage, serialized fiction, confessional writing, reader testimony, illustrated essays, and accounts of contemporary SM practice. Its opening visual section, Beautiful Garden of Perversion, photographed by Tsukamoto Tetsuzo, presents a broad catalogue of models, rope configurations, gags, reclining and suspended poses, and domestic interiors. Individual photographs are given descriptive captions, making the portfolio function as a visual taxonomy of bondage poses rather than a single continuous scenario.
