Summary
The September 1961 issue of Fuzoku Kitan is organized around an unusually large concentration of bondage photography, illustrated erotic fantasy, discussions of sadomasochistic play, historical punishment, fetish imagery, personal testimony, and reader correspondence. The opening pages are almost entirely visual. The gravure section titled Poses of Bondage moves through a sequence of domestic and outdoor rope tableaux, including women bound on tatami, beside stacked firewood, at a riverbank, in a garden, and in other staged settings. It is followed by a sepia illustrated portfolio of bound schoolgirls and a group of Western bondage photographs, including material attributed in the contents to Luis Avila. These opening portfolios make rope restraint and the posed female body the issue’s dominant visual language before the prose section begins.
