The Art of BeE Workshop Japan

One thing I'd hoped when starting the blog was that a bunch of leather crafters and innovators around the world would be able to connect, share ideas and inspire each other. I think it comes from my days in art school, where I found it extremely enriching to just be around other creative types. It can't help but take your ideas and craftsmanship to a higher place. 

I want to introduce you to BeE Workshop, Japan.

This gentleman is creating some of the most exciting and unique designs I've ever seen. 

Custom-made straitjacket, belt set and 2-layer padded pussy mouth hood.

He contacted me a while ago to let me know that my blog inspired him. I was so blown away by his work, I didn't know how to express it fully. I think in many ways he's more advanced than me as a maker. And his ideas are off-the-charts wonderful. 

He developed his own unique pattern for a padded, 2-layer hood. And he created a pussy-type mouth opening - I've never seen anyone do this in leather. And as if that wasn't enough, he created a harness with detatchable mouth/pussy cover…

 I like the way he has the little pussy lips closed…

I think we have a shared love of hoods and complete coverage restraints. 

 

It's always thrilling for me to see a new take on an old idea. Check out the unique, beautifully-fitted pattern for the straitjacket here. Love the attached rings, and the sleeve lacing. The collar fits beautifully. 

Also, love the beautiful shape on this leg restraint. A really nice fit. 

 He has also made some beautiful armbinders in a range of different styles. I love this classic looking design:

 He's also experimented with an open-hand style:

 A French-maid look with frilly edges in PVC:

 An over-the-shoulder style with a zip-closure:

 An over-the-shoulder style that laces up:

Take a moment to appreciate this fantastic photo…

 An open-shoulder style with zip closure, and contrasting red straps and collar. 

Cannot love this image enough…

Really beautiful custom-harness strap and chain sets too… so much great work. 

 

 I only know of his blog here, but will let you know if he ever puts together a stand-alone website. Don't you agree that his work is just fantastic? 

Thank you BeE workshop, for sharing your inspiring work with us! 

Incredible Japanese bondage by THL

Huge thanks goes out to my friend sammy for turning me on to THL, a photographer doing some jaw-droppingly, mind-bending, flat-out beautiful work... If you are a fan of Asian cuties tied very well (and lit well, and photographed beautifully) and in fetish-y garb, STOP NOW and go check out his site (or his tumblr) this instant. Come back and thank me later. 

Here are just a few of the many (oh so many!) images that will have you drooling (you're welcome!): 

Every one of his images is so good it makes me want to cry. The girls he shoots are so pretty! How does he get such wholesome-looking Japanese (I'm assuming) girl-next-door types to endure such kinky torments? "Would you like to play dress-up in head-to-toe rubber and ballet boots with a gas-mask my dear?" Of course they say, only too happy to oblige in THL's amazing life. 

 I take photos myself, so I appreciate all the work that goes into getting an image like this: 

 The rigging, the lighting, the location-shooting. My question is "How does he get so many beautiful shots, each so unique and different?" He'll do an entire setup, in a particular location, with a beautiful model, and then he is posting just a single, solitary shot. Damn!

 Obviously, this guy THL has an amazing eye, and a beautiful, willing lovely girl(s) to model for him. But man, what a way with the lighting and setups... One beautiful image after another. 

 Even the straightforward shots of his fetish gear are pure artistry...

Once again, visit THL's website, send him commissions and money, follow his tumblr. Give the man what he wants people, just let's hope he keeps doing what he's doing!! 

Bondage Art by Takashi Shiwa

Not sure why it took me so long to discover the art of Takashi Shiwa, but now that I have I'm happy to share it with you. Thank you, internet!

More to be found with a quick google search.

Mummification of Nanako Aida

Another great movie now available from Reijoh-Shashinkan: "Mummification of Nanako Aida with Brown Tapes." I had been wanting to get this movie for a while, but only recently has it been made available as a download on Clips4Sale. For someone (like me) into total mummification, Asian girls in bondage, complete and total wraps (including the head!), and lots of wiggling around and rolling over by the girl slave once wrapped, it's right up my alley. 

Add in the ridiculous amount of tape over the mouth-filling gag (I think I counted 7 wraps *whew*), and you have a winner!  

The close-up feet wrapping doesn't hurt, either!

Feet getting wrapped... thoroughly!

 Thank you, Nanako for suffering so beautifully for us...

Lots of wiggling and rolling over. Very hot.

Mummification video by Reijoh-Shashinkan

I'm so happy to see Reijoh-Shashinkan now has some of their mummification videos on clips4sale! This hogtie wrap is just so intense:

The Mummification of Nanako - Bound alike a Chrysalis with Nanako Aida. 

If you are a fan of hot Japanese girls in extreme bondage, rolling and wiggling around and "mmmfffh -ing" the whole time, I'd recommend the 15-minute video. Nanako even manages to roll herself onto her side and back a few times, creating a beautiful vision in shiny white tape.

Kneeling Restraint Pose in Japanese Shibari Rope Bondage

I came across this image (on the left) the other day - a pretty close match for the kneeling posture-suit restraint, don't you think? I see so many Japanese rope ties I'd love to turn into total-enclosure bondage suits...
