The Document: Orgasm — A video from 1983<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Today marks the 13th death anniversary (\u5341\u4e09\u56de\u5fcc, juusan kaiki) of Osada Eikichi (\u9577\u7530\u82f1\u5409) who passed away on September 12, 2001.<\/p>\n

I recently got a phone call from Sugiura Norio<\/span><\/a> (\u6749\u6d66\u5247\u592b) asking whether I would accept a shipment of old Osada Eikichi shibari tutorials from Nagaike Takeshi (\u9577\u6c60\u58eb). A few days later several boxes of those videos arrived. Upon further investigation it turned out that Nagaike sensei had produced this series of five videos with\/for my shishou (\u5e2b\u5320) somewhere in the mid-’80s.<\/p>\n

Osada Seminar tutorials from the mid-’80s<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

These are Intermediate Level 1 and 2, Advanced Level 1 and 2, and “Application”; the latter showing how the Osada Eikichi style of shibari was applied in real-life sessions back then. The videos cover a wide range of techniques, including the infamous ebizuri (\u6d77\u8001\u540a\u308a) and several other advanced suspensions that even today aren’t mastered by more than a few professionals. Some of these shibarikata (bondages, \u7e1b\u308a\u65b9) are extremely complicated and what I call “high risk” if tried by someone not possessing the proper skill level(s) and experience — and we are talking about techniques taught on video 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

I was doing most of these shibarikata back in 2001 and 2002 while performing in the Osada Seminar style. About five years ago, but only for a few months, I was teaching some of the advanced techniques to a select group of students, but have since discontinued doing so due to the high risks involved. In fact, I have since stopped doing most of those myself — though primarily due to mojo complications and my more recent focus on the muga (\u7121\u6211)<\/span><\/a> aspects of kinbaku.<\/p>\n

Osada Eikichi was mainly making his mark as a live performer and thus didn’t leave a large body of work for later generations to study and enjoy. There are however, plenty of magazine articles, the above videos, plus a very well-done shoot of a live performance (1982), a made-for-TV documentary (1999), several not-meant-for-public-consumption productions, as well as a handful of “private” videos, one of them gifted to me by Joji Kawakami.<\/p>\n

Were it not for Osada Eikichi, I and many others wouldn’t be doing kinbaku at the level and intensity we are enjoying today. May Sensei’s soul rest in peace.<\/p>\n
