Nostalgia and The Six Degrees of Kinbaku
I've recently got quite wrapped up in matters involving the history of kinbaku in Japan as well as the exchange of SM materials between Japan and the US.
Thanks to Master "K", I learned that there was an outfit in Japan called the Phoenix Co. and that it was responsible for sending some very high quality, color bondage images across the Pacific in the 1970s. I saw at least two of these magazines with my own eyes. My memory is fading but I believe they were titled Osaka Bondage and Sapporo Bondage.
I'm not sure if I believed at the time the photos were actually taken in those cities, but now I simply think the people who published the magazines in the US found these to be convenient titles.
