| + | It would not be an exaggeration to say that Takashi Tsujimura established modern Kinbaku Art. Encountering [[Kitan Club]] before [[Toshiyuki Suma]], Tsujimura acted as a kinbakushi for virtually the entire run of [[Kitan Club]] magazine. He also contributed historical dramas during its pulp magazine period as well as countless articles, stories and reports. He became involved with other gravure magazines around the summer of 1951. When [[Toshiyuki Suma]] left [[Kitan Club]] in 1953, Tsujimura became [[Kitan Club]]'s main kinbakushi. He examined classical bondage methods such as hojojutsu, but gradually he specialized in SM play and evolved these methods into modern bondage. Series like "The True Face of Bondage Models" (1955) and "SM Camera Hunt" (1964-1973) earned the support of many readers and established the style of "SM kinbaku as a practice." In 1968, Tsujimura became more involved in the media by serving as a bondage advisor to [[Teruo Ishii]]'s "History of Tokugawa Female Punishment" and others. Together with [[Oniroku Dan]], he became a driving force in the SM boom of the late 1960s and early 1970s. | ||

Tsujimura (辻村) family name, Takashi (隆) first name, (1921-1987)
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Takashi Tsujimura established modern Kinbaku Art. Encountering Kitan Club before Toshiyuki Suma, Tsujimura acted as a kinbakushi for virtually the entire run of Kitan Club magazine. He also contributed historical dramas during its pulp magazine period as well as countless articles, stories and reports. He became involved with other gravure magazines around the summer of 1951. When Toshiyuki Suma left Kitan Club in 1953, Tsujimura became Kitan Club's main kinbakushi. He examined classical bondage methods such as hojojutsu, but gradually he specialized in SM play and evolved these methods into modern bondage. Series like "The True Face of Bondage Models" (1955) and "SM Camera Hunt" (1964-1973) earned the support of many readers and established the style of "SM kinbaku as a practice." In 1968, Tsujimura became more involved in the media by serving as a bondage advisor to Teruo Ishii's "History of Tokugawa Female Punishment" and others. Together with Oniroku Dan, he became a driving force in the SM boom of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Interesting points
Tsujimura was active in the center of Nara.
Army Transportation Corps (logistical support). (Pleasure trade, rumored by Minomura). In active service for four years.
The prevailing opinion is that after the war, Tsujimura worked in a hardware store, in accounting and as a medical laboratory technician, but the details are unknown. There is also a theory that Tsujimura was a school teacher.
"The night before he was pulled to war, a secret female admirer said, 'You can do what you like with me.' So he excitedly tied her with a waist cord." And "He couldn't forget the feelings in that moment. Even on the battlefield, he continued to think, 'I want to tie her one more time. I don't want to die in a place like this.'" (Pleasure trade, rumored by Minomura).
On page 14 of the May 1965 issue of Kitan Club, Tsujimura acknowledged that Takehiko Midori was his initial pen name. According to him, "Takehiko Midori was my pen name when I first wrote to Kitan Club, and I used it mainly for just period pieces. . . but as I became close to Mr. Minota, I started to use Takashi Tsujimura now for reports, current writings and the lives of models, and finally it has become my favorite nowadays."
"I tried some of this and that out of old books of kinbaku techniques[※ 9]."
In an interview around 1976, off the subject of tying, Tsujimura replied that he had an interest in "water sports"[1].
In the June 1969 Kitan Club issue of "Salon Garakuki" he wrote about his friendship with Seiu Ito, saying, "I had a connection with Ito only in his last few years" and "The old guy was rather frail."
