Summary
The May 1961 issue of Fuzoku Kitan is built around the special feature Men and Women Possessed by the Whip, using whipping as a point of intersection between sadism, masochism, punishment, sexual desire, fantasy, and popular visual culture. The issue opens with historical and humorous images of corporal punishment, followed by an extensive bondage gravure. Its staged photographs move between woodland and rural settings, tatami rooms, and domestic interiors, presenting women bound back-to-back, gagged, restrained in school-style clothing, tied among straw and timber, and posed in increasingly elaborate forms of rope restraint. A subsequent illustrated portfolio, Six Women in Torment, imagines ordeals involving heat, cold water, sharp devices, exposure, whipping, and other forms of punishment.
