(SHIMIZU, SEITARO). Shimizu, Seitaro & Oniroku Dan. Tokyo, JAPAN: Wanimagazine Co., Ltd., 1995. First Edition. Small Folio. Boards in Printed Dust Jacket. Erotic Photography Monograph. Very Good -/Good +. np, profusely illustrated in color. Text in Japanese. Entitled "Yobi (Japonisme)", this is photographer Seitaro Shimizu's oversized hardbound volume of images of Japanese erotic bondage. It presents four separate color essays featuring Japanese models Saori Taira, Emi Sugita, Miki Sho, and Mayu Tsukas in various states of restraint provided by the Kinbaku master Nagaike Takeshi. None of the copious below-the-waist photgraphy in this Japanese publication has been airbrushed, blacked-out, or pixilated. A most presentable example of the 1995 first edition of this uncommon (unsurprisingly only a single copy in a Tokyo library is currently cited in OCLC WorldCat) item showing some rubbing and abrading to the lower edge of the front board along with notable wear, creasing and chipping - with some minor paper loss to the extremities - of the dust jacket. It has been priced accordingly. 4-89829-235-6 Inventory Number: 027101
