Summary
The March 1975 issue of Kitan Club opens with a substantial visual sequence rather than immediately beginning its numbered prose. After the wraparound cover and publisher advertisements, PDF page 3 introduces Tsukamoto Tetsuzō’s “The Sensual Sow’s Education,” naming Yamaguchi Tsuyako as its central model. The formal contents and gallery index on PDF pages 4–5 are followed by an extended black-and-white and color image gallery on PDF pages 6–26. These photographs present numerous named models in rope bondage, gags, masks, compact floor ties, standing restraint, suspension, spread-leg positions, body writing, and tightly compressed postures. Short captions isolate particular techniques, bodily reactions, and visual motifs, making the opening gallery a catalog of contemporary amateur and staged kinbaku imagery as well as a visual prelude to the principal reportage.
