KINBAKU-BI

Kinbaku-Bi, which literally translates to "the beauty of tight-binding," is a catalog focusing on the erotic Japanese art of rope bondage. The catalog features original photography, information on the history of the art, and explanations of the ropes, knots, and patterns used. The design aesthetic is meant to merge the seemingly taboo nature of bondage fetishes with the delicate sensitivity of Japanese aesthetic and design.
