Cute and kinky. Those two words sum up so much about the Japanese erotic.
Hajime Kinoko is one of Japan's most famous shibari (aka kinbaku) rope bondage artists.
We once visited his BDSM bar in Ueno, only for it later to be raided and shut down by police. Kinoko Hajime was himself arrested, though he has made a comeback, such as holding an exhibition called "Red".
He now offers lessons and does events like workshops and "cyber neo-shibari" shows.
He has opened a space again but this time it's not a bar. Instead it's branded as a "salon" for learning the ropes (sorry for the pun) of ...
The only officially licensed offshoot of London's original Torture Garden, the world's leading fetish club lands in Tokyo for Torture Garden Japan.
Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the fetish fantasy party welcomes BSDM and bondage fans of all creeds as well as cyberpunkers, fetishists and extreme cosplayers to Xex Nihonbashi on April 2nd from midnight (natch).
Just make sure you're not wearing casual clothes:
Enforced Fantasy Dress Code (Full Costumes Only / No Half Measures / TG is an Extreme Event for Extreme People!):

Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held on January 31st at a venue in Harajuku and what a serendipitous collection of fetishes it was!
We loved the one we attended last year. This January we couldn't go in person but watched from afar via the festival's official social media channels, from where we have pouched these shots.
Everything from rope bondage and steampunk to almost-not-there bikini idols, crotch shots, masks, blood and horror, nurses, eyepatches, facesitting, and everything in between.
The festival remains one of the most accessible ways to experience the sheer range of ...
We all know that Japan has a thing about cat girls and related adult toys, and in general kemonomimi anthropomorphism is huge.
So you've probably already tried the whip and the collar, the cat ears, the costumes, and the animal tails.
But what about this?
The Chokyo Dog Bone Gag is a BDSM mouth accessory that transforms your partner or slave into a canine canine.
He or she can crawl around on all fours with this bone between their mouth.
The bone looks great and is just the right size: not too big to affect movement or cause pain.
The gag collar is also adjustable ...
We previously covered the slinky, slutty delights of Yuki Mamiya, aka Yuki Mogami.
The gravure idol is an occasional actress, appearing in such masterpieces as the soft-core pono Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden.
She has already done semi-nude (butt) shots and some very revealing gravure idol "image videos".
But in May 2015 she did a hair nude (full frontal) shoot for Shukan Gendai, shot by the legendary Hajime Sawatari. He is a famous photographer but also does these hair nude shoots from time to time, such as with AV actress Yuu ...
Fetish Fashion Tokyo (or FetishFashion.Tokyo) is a new photography book showcasing the fetish scene in Japan's capital.
Released on October 10th, it features photography by Peter W Czernich and modeling from mannequin duo FEMM and Hirari Ikeda (that's her on the cover). Contributors include latex brands Kurage and Atsuko Kudo.
The book is bilingual, in English and Japanese, and edited by fetish magazine Infamous Magazine.
Don't expect anything hard-core in the book. From the looks of things, its focus is on latex fetish as a fashion statement more than a sexual ...
Photographer and designer Kuchikaseya Moira is holding her first solo exhibition at Jimbocho Gallery until July 12th, featuring sexy self-portraits and more.
Kuchikaseya Moira, whose name means "Gagsmith Moira", is known for her "nerd fetish" erotic cosplay self-portraits. She looks very nice in a swimsuit, especially wearing a mouth gag as well.
And as her Tumblr account reveals, she is even more alluring in a sailor schoolgirl uniform, not to mention a gas mask (as we know, quite a thing in Japan). Nice butt too.
She took part in the hit "Panchira 2015" ...
Get your facesitting (queening, kinging) kick with Qure Siouxsie (@siouxsieq5), a kink mistress who will be bringing her leggy charms to a range of strangers' faces this weekend in Tokyo.
Facesitting (ganmenkijou in Japanese) has a following locally, so expect this lady to get a long line of men waiting to have their faces squashed by her body at this fetish event on May 30th.
From 1pm to 6pm you can get your face sat on by Siouxsie (dressed u in an office lady -- OL -- style) and other ladies. It is free for women to attend but costs ¥8,000 ($64) for men. If you want to ...
Ketsu Bat Girl is a new Tumblr account, and a meme waiting to happen.
The name means girls being hit on the butt (ketsu) with a baseball bat, which is not an image we think of regularly. But now it's stuck in our heads we will be fantasizing about it all day!
Girls have been heading to a certain spot in Niigata City to pose for a series of shots where a statue of a baseball player seems to be smacking their asses.
Naturally the girls react with plenty of surprise and charm. It certainly makes Niigata City look like a fun place to hang out. Are you allowed to do this ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku.
There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the "Underground Fetish Film Festival" screenings.
Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it has been held eight times around Japan. This festival -- the fifth in Tokyo -- was the biggest so far and there seemed to be hundreds of visitors by our estimate.
Due to legal reasons, there was no nudity allowed in the ...
