It has been happening in Tokyo since 2001 and often holds events more than once a year, though the summer one is the highlight of the calendar. We blogged about the 2016 summer ball.

The overseas media's favorite bondage artist, Hajime Kinoko, continues his comeback.
After being arrested and his Ueno club shut down in 2014, Hajime Kinoko is now back for good. So much so that he can work with major fashion brands.
To celebrate the opening of the new Christian Dada store in Minami-Aoyama, Hajime Kinoko was invited to put on a unique shibari rope bondage performance inside the shop.
The ravishingly beautiful model in the show was Machiko. The photos, cast in crimson, really do justice to her classical looks.
With its bold red ropes, the interior of the ...
Rope bondage master Hajime Kinoko makes comeback with cute yet erotic shibari
June 8, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Cute and kinky. Those two words sum up so much about the Japanese erotic.
Hajime Kinoko is one of Japan's most famous shibari (aka kinbaku) rope bondage artists.
We once visited his BDSM bar in Ueno, only for it later to be raided and shut down by police. Kinoko Hajime was himself arrested, though he has made a comeback, such as holding an exhibition called "Red".
He now offers lessons and does events like workshops and "cyber neo-shibari" shows.
He has opened a space again but this time it's not a bar. Instead it's branded as a "salon" for learning the ropes (sorry for the pun) of ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held on January 31st at a venue in Harajuku and what a serendipitous collection of fetishes it was!
We loved the one we attended last year. This January we couldn't go in person but watched from afar via the festival's official social media channels, from where we have pouched these shots.
Everything from rope bondage and steampunk to almost-not-there bikini idols, crotch shots, masks, blood and horror, nurses, eyepatches, facesitting, and everything in between.
The festival remains one of the most accessible ways to experience the sheer range of ...
Chokyo Dog Bone Gag turns your bondage slave into pet poodle
January 25, 2016
/ Megumi
We all know that Japan has a thing about cat girls and related adult toys, and in general kemonomimi anthropomorphism is huge.
So you've probably already tried the whip and the collar, the cat ears, the costumes, and the animal tails.
But what about this?
The Chokyo Dog Bone Gag is a BDSM mouth accessory that transforms your partner or slave into a canine canine.
He or she can crawl around on all fours with this bone between their mouth.
The bone looks great and is just the right size: not too big to affect movement or cause pain.
The gag collar is also adjustable ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
We previously covered the slinky, slutty delights of Yuki Mamiya, aka Yuki Mogami.
The gravure idol is an occasional actress, appearing in such masterpieces as the soft-core pono Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden.
She has already done semi-nude (butt) shots and some very revealing gravure idol "image videos".
But in May 2015 she did a hair nude (full frontal) shoot for Shukan Gendai, shot by the legendary Hajime Sawatari. He is a famous photographer but also does these hair nude shoots from time to time, such as with AV actress Yuu ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Photographer and designer Kuchikaseya Moira is holding her first solo exhibition at Jimbocho Gallery until July 12th, featuring sexy self-portraits and more.
Kuchikaseya Moira, whose name means "Gagsmith Moira", is known for her "nerd fetish" erotic cosplay self-portraits. She looks very nice in a swimsuit, especially wearing a mouth gag as well.
And as her Tumblr account reveals, she is even more alluring in a sailor schoolgirl uniform, not to mention a gas mask (as we know, quite a thing in Japan). Nice butt too.
She took part in the hit "Panchira 2015" ...
