Torsion Magazine
Torsion Magazine, 2022–, is an American magazine in the bakushi / kinbaku ecosystem.
Era: 2020s
Current US-based shibari / kinbaku art print magazine and community-facing submission project. The official home page frames Torsion Magazine as a publication celebrating the art of rope bondage, committed to artistry, craftsmanship, connection, community and consent, with editorial interest in history, techniques and artistic collaborations around Shibari & Kinbaku Art. Its official purchase page and MagCloud feed show a visible print run from Issue No.1 in January 2022 through Torsion Magazine Issue No.8 in December 2025, and the purchase page preserves sample editorial feature blocks such as Kinbaku Boyscout with model Sandy in Issue No.4. The official submissions page invites contributors to send image sets with release forms, bios and credits, while the Instagram profile describes it simply as `Shibari & Kinbaku Art Magazine` and names `@jcstarkphoto` as editor and staff photographer.
