2007 Book Editorial note

Akechi

Languages English / Japanese

Yoshiki Saitoh's photographic portrait of Akechi Denki's rope work was published after Akechi's death, with an introduction by photography critic Kotaro Iizawa.

Iizawa's introduction frames the photographs for readers beyond the existing bondage audience, focusing on bodily expression and the relationship between the person tying and the person being tied.
