Japan Fetish Ball, presented by the Tokyo Kink Society (no relation to this blog!), will be unveiling its unique display of alternative sexuality this Saturday at the Christon Cafe Tokyo in Shinjuku. The big fetish party of the year for Tokyoites (maybe even the whole of Asia), this is the fifth anniversary event. There are separate dance and music areas, plus of course a BDSM play corner. It was first set up by a foreigner actually and is the largest "mainstream" (i.e. widely publicized) fetish event of its kind in the city. It costs ¥3,500 to get in and there is ...

Now THIS is what I called manga. A heck of a lot better than all that One Piece crap, that's for sure! Oki was a soldier in World War Two and afterwards he took up drawing SM and bondage manga. We don't know if it's just his innate character or his experiences in the war, but certainly his imagination is very, very fertile! The results, as we're sure you agree, are magnificent. Okay, Megumi, now it's time to recreate these scenes for ...

Possibly the only thing better than the sight of a gorgeous girl, bound in submission to serve her master's every depraved whim, is the knowledge that said image is being auctioned for a good cause to boot. Three months on, the impact of the earthquake/tsunami and subsequent nuclear fears that rocked Japan is still being sorely felt by many in the country, and one big-hearted group of kinky artists based in San Francisco's Bay Area has stepped up to the plate in a big way, raising funds for the relief effort the best way they know how: through taking dirty pictures. The event, ...

Our friends over at Japan Bondage have recently done a full overhaul of their site and I've got to say, they are doing some pretty interesting things over there. I personally like my women free to do as they please during sexy time, but when I took a look at the new site I started having second thoughts. I am a bit of a porn connoisseur with varying tastes, but whenever I heard about bondage, I had a really negative image. I had no idea that there was an entire artistic side to this type of erotica. About a year ago, Taro actually had the honor of meeting one of the headline bondage ...

Recently 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 ...

We 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 ...

We 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 ...

Do like a bit of naughty hanky-panky? Do you like stylish and luxury brands? Well, combine both these with the new Lux Heart Paddle from Kanojo Toys. Sure, we all have the hand bags, the wallets, the purses. But do you have the spanking gear? From the two-tone leather-like finish that recalls a certain world-famous brand, to the heart-shaped design and hefty handle, this paddle makes you (and your partner) savor every smack. Sure, you can spank with anything, but if you're in it for the long run, why not invest in a nice tool for the job? Buy it online from ...

Recently 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 don't know the "dark side" of Tokyo well enough. I know the corners of Kabukicho and am quite familiar with all kind of adult goods of course, since the discerning product selectors at KanojoToys let me tag along. I ...

Hi 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 ...
