Bakushi - On the set of Nikkatsu Roman Porno SM Dramas

Original title: 縛師――日活ロマンポルノ SMドラマの現場

Also known as Bakushi: Nikkatsu Roman Porno SM Dorama no Genba

Language Japanese

Urado Hiroshi's account of rope work behind Nikkatsu's Roman Porno SM films, including Flower and Snake and Sacrificial Wife. The memoir also revisits the magazines, writers and performers surrounding those productions.

The book connects two settings often considered separately: specialist print culture and commercial film production. Urado had edited Uramado under Minomura Kou before working on Nikkatsu films, giving his recollections a practitioner's view of that transition.
