Bondage leather hoods from Tennosuke
Written by: Taro on July 30, 2010 at 2:53 am | In Hands-on Reports | No CommentsRecently I’ve been getting into bondage. Though I still steer clear of some of the tougher toys out there (nose hooks!), I love putting on the gear. There’s nothing quite like the feel of thick leather wrapping around your skin.
Girls always tell me I’m hot but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good hood. Tennosuke is a Tokyo leather studio that has a HUGE range of hand-made BDSM toys.
I’ve been trying them out. The newest on release is the “N Mask”. Not sure what the “n” means — “naughty”? “Nihilistic”? Either way, it made me look like an executioner. Needless to say, I took Megumi to the gallows and back!
From executioner to jailer, next I tried on the Jail Mask bondage hood, which is like a grate over your face. (Though with useful holes for mouth and eyes!) The red one is the most vibrant and kind of erotic — or so Megumi told me!

New toys from Tokyo bondage studio Tennosuke
Written by: Tadashi Anahori on June 15, 2010 at 2:33 am | In Product Releases | No CommentsWe paid a visit recently to the small but friendly bondage gear studio Tennosuke in north Tokyo. Why is Tennosuke not more famous abroad? It’s become legendary in the Japanese S&M scene!
Megumi has written before about the leather toys this great studio produces. They have cock collars, ankle cuffs, bondage costumes…all the works!
However, the owners told us they have since created a whole heap of brand quality new toys, including spanking pads, bondage cuffs, whips and more!
As you can see, the quality of the leather goods speaks for themselves. These toys could almost be for sale in a luxury fashion brand shop or something!
We particularly like how they give a ratings system (up to five points) for their whips so you know how hard or soft they are. Perfect for folks like me who like bondage but are not very experienced.
I definitely shouldn’t be playing around with this cat o’ nine tails-style “Hard 9″ whip then — it has nine lashes and a top five-out-of-five rating! Ouch!
Tennosuke is a small and unique studio whose leather toys are almost impossible to get overseas. Our friends at KanojoToys, though, told us they have a growing range of the gear, available exclusively online.

Kinbaku Japanese Bondage Phone Straps
Written by: Megumi on May 18, 2010 at 1:59 am | In Erotic Japan Blog | 1 CommentKeitai (cellphone) straps are HUGE here, almost everyone has some kind of cute thing dangling from their handset. Kinbaku (緊縛) — traditional Japanese bondage — is a bit more underground, but there’s no reason why mainstream can’t meet subculture for some fun.
And that’s what the makers of Kinbaku Strap think too!
These are decorative phone straps for your cellphone in the guise of traditional Japanese bondage. As you can see from some of the range above, you get a naughty-looking figurine tightly bound in the customary way. Attach it to your keitai and you can advertise your sexual tastes to the rest of the world!
Amazingly it seems that Takara Tomy is even producing some of them. Perhaps there’s a bigger market for bondage goods than we figured!
We’ve long been an admirer of kinbaku and shibari on this blog, and once visited Steve Osada’s amazing Tokyo bondage dungeon for a show.
Nothing beats seeing a young lady trussed up with the shibari rope techniques — but we also like the idea of reminding ourselves of the joys of bondage every time we look at our cellphone!

World of L: Luxury S&M and Bondage Adult Toys
Written by: Tadashi Anahori on December 29, 2009 at 3:48 am | In Product Releases | No CommentsWe have previously reported on this blog of erotic wonders about the Lux Heart Paddle, a stylish way to spank your partner!
Well, now those good folks at the Kanojo Toys Shop have just added a full range of devilish goods from the same series, the World of L. The brand is for those who like their bondage the chic way — look fashionable whilst strapped down!
There are neck collars, eye masks, mouth gags, ankle and hand cuffs…you name it, they’ve got it!
I don’t know what you are into but I like a good collar around my cock. Kanojo Toys also has another superb range of bondage goods from Tennosuke. Here you can have hours of fun with a whip, yet more ankle cuffs and neck collars…There’s even a full body suit! Oh, I’m spoiled for choice!
And let’s not forget that stalwart of the Tokyo bondage scene, the mighty Osada Steve, master of the art of kinbaku and Japanese binding, shibari. We previously wrote about his amazing S&M shows on this blog and naturally KJT offer one of his rope-tying products in their line-up.
There is certainly a lot to get spanking for!

Tokyo Bondage Show and Tour with Osada Steve
Written by: Taro on June 10, 2009 at 6:30 pm | In Hands-on Reports | 2 CommentsRecently I had the pleasure to meet the king of Tokyo’s Shibari scene myself, and the honour to watch during one of his sessions. A few days later then, since we share similar origins and got along well, he took me along on one of his tours with some of his admirers that came as far as from the US and Australia.
Both events were a first time experience for me. Not that I dont know the “dark side” of Tokyo well enough. I know the corners of Kabukichou and am quite familiar with all kind of adult goods of course, since the discerning product selectors at KanojoToys let me tag along.
I am new to bondage and although I have to admit that it does not really give me a hard on myself…I really enjoyed watching the 3 hour session with Osada Steve tying up his sub, pulling her up, free her for a minute just to tie her up yet once more in a different position. Not only did I find the atmosphere in his small backside room just perfect for my dark fantasies…there was also a very artistic approach to it that I did not expect. Above all, Osada Steve is clearly a master in making the perfect knots and every very move is smooth and fast…
Steve presented us a selection of several techniques, of which, as an amateur, I cannot recall the names anymore, except for the “ebi” (shrimp) one…admittedly one of my favorites so far. At the end of the show it all became very “wa” (Japanese), much to my personal liking. A tatami (rice mat), sake barrel and all, with a fully-tattooed Japanese girl…well done, Steve.
During breaks I could learn a lot: About Shibari, its history as one of the Japanese old customs, why Shibari is so popular in Japan and also about some very traditional Japanese dildo made out of some root that apparently makes the girls horny. Of course I asked right away where I can get these and got the right connection…so its available HERE now.
After this first introduction to the scene, I was invited to come along to discover some of Tokyo`s SM scene. We went to a nice, cosy bar with Japanese salarymen hanging all on hooks and in rope, super-sexy girls doing the candle thing on them. We had some drinks and after a while Steve took charge of the scene by heading for the stage, fuming up some steam and good lightning and tying and pulling up his girl. Nice one ! As for me, I met a hot chick by the toilet but alas, almost time to go home. But surely come again and hopefully Steve will show me some more in the future to report on.
For the guys and girls among you that like SM, Bondage or just are interested in some very Japanese traditional thingy (more interesting than tea ceremony and what else JTB and HIS are trying to sell you;-)…Osada Steve’s SHOWS are surely the way to go.
For the ones of you that are already into it and know what they are doing…KanojoToys have added the original Osada Steve rope to their line. Get it HERE.

Tennosuke Sexy Leather Goods
Written by: Megumi on June 14, 2008 at 3:22 am | In Product Releases | 2 CommentsHi again….this is Megumi. It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog post, I’m sorry. However, we’ve had some new things that caught my interest, and Taro asked me to write about them…
Japanese bondage maker Tennosuke has a nice reputation for making quality leather goods for Tokyo’s S&M scene. Below are several of their items, ranging from the mild (ankle cuffs) to the wild (whips!) to the extreme (cock restraints?!). I’m picking my favorites now 
For those who like lingerie, but not necessarily the “cute” variety, Tennosuke’s Free Bondage Bodysuit allows for tightening all over but still free movement. Actually looks pretty comfortable^^
The classic whip. Nice handle, long leather strips, and enough power behind it to make your partner submit…or face the whip^^
Hmm…maybe I need a mask like this so my favorite guy doesn’t know who it is using the whip on his ass! That’s not me in the picture…yet.

These ankle restraints are pretty nice, but there’s definitely no getting out of them without a little help, especially if you’re getting the whip!
The collar goes perfectly with the ankle cuffs, but doesn’t come with a leash. No problem….the pet store is just down the street.
Wow. I think that any guy who would wear this leather dick harness for me would be the ideal man. After all, his dedication is obvious, no? Of course, he’ll have to take it off before he gets his reward 
Hmm…that’s it for now. Back to work for me!
