"KK通信　第10号\n昭和28年7月1日発行\n\n【KK論壇　ジャーナリストの感覚　アブニストの弁明　鬼山絹策】\n\n第九号KK通信で、私の新造語「アブニスト」に就いて、沼正三先生の御忠言を有難く拝読しました。\n\n私が無神経に使って居ると思って居られるようですから、その点に就いて一言弁明させて頂きたい。\n\n私がこの「アブ」を始めて用いる時には、こんなのは英語でも何でもない、然し私はあの時、所謂「アブニスト」を表現するに、非才の私に他に適当する単的な字句が浮ばなかったのです。\n\n沼先生は「学術語まがい」と仰せられたが、「アブニスト」の語感から学術語と言う感覚がどうでしょうか。\n\n私は読者に「ハハ語らん造語を使いやがったな」と嘲笑されることを期待して書いたのです。斯う言うと如何にも自己の作品に対して不忠実のようですが、ここにも私のマゾ的な心理がそうさせてしまったのでしょう。「鬼山」と言う奴は無智なのだと軽蔑する人は殆んどない、皆「ナチス」と言ってます。英語の「ガール」もアメリカさんには何のことだか分らない。ゲーテと書いたり「ギョエテ」と書いたりするが、これもドイツ人にはおかしく感ずるでしょう。\n\nもっともこれは発音の誤りですが、文法上の問題にしても、日本の仮名遣い、或はローマ字でも諸説紛々、一応こうした問題は非常に多くあります。\n\n私は或る方々の雑誌の編集に携って居りますが、ジャーナリストの感覚と言うものは、時の流れ、人の動きに連れて方向を変え、そしてその方向に向って絶えず目新しいものを求める動物なのです。\n\n流説を固守して旧仮名遣いで押通して居る作家も見受けられます。文法にしろ発音にしろ正鵠を得たものを用いるに越したことはないのですが、「早い話がこの『正鵠』と言う字さえ誰も正しく『せいこく』と発音する人はなく、皆『せいこう』と言うのは世の中の男女には好ましく感じられるからでしょうか」。イヤ脱線して失礼しましたが、要するに文法上や発音上の誤りがあっても、世人の多くがこれを認めれば、それは俗語として認められ、用いられるのも自然の勢いではないでしょうか。\n\n【ボクの責め方（五）　宝塚二三夫】\n\n責のコスチュームとして\n一、飾り気のない紺の事務服。\n一、食堂の白襟ユニホーム。\n一、女学生のセーラータイプ。\n一、粋好みのマダム風。\n一、ボクの真向好みの秘書服。\n一、派手な詰子のレヴューガール。\n一、同石のニューフェース。\n一、紺ズボンの案内ガール。\n一、女学生に似合うブルーマー。そして靴下。\n一、ドレスのパリッとしたダンサー。\n一、素晴しいニュースタイルの令嬢。\n一、デパートのユニホーム。\n\n等々そして次のシーンである。剥出した脛と紺のかかった手足……そして文爾節。その本題に入る前に、ここにトピック・ニュースとも言うべき、開花一番、君子の話を取り上げねばならぬ事になった。それは昨日の事であり今日の話しであり処女開花のホットニュースである。\n\n二月末アルバイト高校生として雇入れた某高校の君子、十八才。先ず色の白いと言うよりレンガ色の清純な顔に大きいエクボ、小柄ながら均勢と年に似合わぬ肉付を見、更にボクを引付けたのは制服の下からのぞかせた白桃色にキメ細かく肉付よく照る脚のフエミニストのボクとして引込む隙はない開口一番、「O.K、朝七時迄に出社事務室の掃除から……」「ハイ、お願いします」と言葉尻もハキハキしている。\n\n一週間程、ボクの常宿至段である娠遇ゼイタク、昼間の車のドライブは勿論、責の対照を考えるつもりで彼女の服類、赤い可愛いパンプスの靴、ネット帽、ナイロンの上下、等は当然買い与えてあったのであろう。\n\n一週間の給料二五〇〇円を渡した翌日である。早く六時五十分ボクが車で寒々しい事務室へ入った時、「お早うございます」とドアーの外へ飛出した君子の両肩を掴んで「チュッ」と音を立てて右頬にキスをしてやった。瞬間ピンク色の頬を赤くして室内へ飛込むと「マア、こんなの初めて……くすぐったい……」と心地よいのと同じ「そうか知ら……？もうたまらないわ、明日は顔をあらわずに来よう……」茶目らしくエクボを大きくする。\n\n[ここから頁3へ続く]\n\n三月九日（月）、ボクは例により事務所へ着いたのが六時五十分まだ寒い廊下を奥へ、そしてボクの事務室内、オーバを引かけたままガスストーブ、円卓に休みつつ朝刊……七時五分、十分、ドアーの外を君子……。\n\nこの時から君子に対する責の第一歩が出たわけである。\n\n「おくれた時間だけそこに立っているんだ」\n「ハイ」\n「唯、立っているだけでは罰にならん」\n「ハイ、どうしてましょう」\n\nボクにしては意外な程マゾヒスチックな言葉に「はだしになって立てろ」「ハイ」「気味悪い程素直、謝まるようにならずと、買ってやって間もない赤い靴をぬぎ、つづいて靴下を揃えて横に置き、黒い線のクッキリと出たナイロンも手早くぬぐと、靴の中にさし込んでオーバーを真すぐに立つ君子。真赤いハンドバッグを持ったまま、やはり床は冷たいのだろうか、足のおやゆびは宙に浮き上っている……。\n\n十分程してボクはその瞬間を利用して「時計等見なくてもいい、うしろ向いてろ」。開花一発そのもののような白桃色の年に似合わぬ肉付よい脛、老年分以上のそれを見えるのを見るとボクには早く何かソソラされている感情が走る……。いつの間に十分終ったのか時間は来た……。\n\n「よーし今日はよし、次はおくれた時……」\n\n[以下、君子を立たせ、服装や脚、靴、靴下を観察しながら懲罰を空想する記述が続く。一部の細字は判読困難。]\n\n【縛られた女のアルバム　「美しき縛しめ」について】\n\n六月号に発表しました「縛られた女のアルバム“美しき縛しめ”」につきましては広告に書きました通り最初はアルバムの大きさをA5版の予定で材料其の他の準備を完了、仕事を進行させて居りましたところ、写真の大きさをパン切に決定しました為、どうしてもアルバムの大きさがA5版では小さ過ぎるので急にB5版に変更しました故、完成がいささか遅延致しましたのは、首を長くして待って居られる皆様には大変御詫び申し上げます。そのかわり送料二十円と予定しましたのが倍以上もかかるという有様で、必ずや皆様に御満足して頂ける品物が出来る筈でありますから何卒御期待下さい。尚、限定版は会員外への頒布はお断り致しますから、御申込には必ず会員番号を添記の上御願いします。会員外へ分譲のものは追って別途に発表する予定であります。\n\n【六月号の珍迷評　一迷評家】\n\n（二）お小夜嵐……固くるしい活字ばかりの中に断然柔かく、美女の鮮肌の裸の肉をまさぐっている様な気持。今後この様なのを続々とお願いします。\n\n（三）クリスチィヌの受難……流石サディズムの精神を解かれた東への見事な作品。心憎い程の浅薄の場面を予想されて心ワクワクしまい迄読んで始めて「吾になり」とは如何です。\n\n（三）世獄……いつも乍ら厭にならぬ経緯記、赤いランニングシャツ、赤いパンツが私の気持をひきます。貴兄の経験が羨しいと言ったら目をむかれるかも知れませんが……。\n\n（四）拷問と倒錯の根源探求……予告を見てどんなむつかしいことを並べられるのかと内心恐怖を来たしておったのですが、之は又親切丁寧なる論説、私の様な浅学者にもよく分りました。一つまみの塩の味は私の様にお汁粉の好きな男にも経験する所です。\n\n（五）くぶ・すれいぶ……うまい、確かな文句を言いたいと思いつつも何といつてもつまいの一語あるのみ、一体この位置むきつけるのは何だろうと思いつついつもむっくと読める作品、五月のポールクレルモン氏は上等の出来栄え好きですな。\n\n（六）由紀子のお仕置……之は又可愛らしいですな、作品も純情そのもの、さぞ天川さん方の皆様は怖い目をされるのでしょう。六月号で続けて見たい。\n\n（七）あるマゾヒストの手帖から……何か文句を言ってやろうと「KK論壇」を見て感心しましたが外語の羅列は苦手で敬遠しました。マゾヒズムの精髄とも言うべきか。\n\n（八）アブノーマル・フアンタジー……今迄の号から随分と傑出した作品となったであろう。又作者の責められるもの「近代的明るさ」の中でも力作でしょうが惜しい事には他の作品が描い過ぎた本号では、貴方のモチーフを生かして一大飛躍が必要ではないか知ら。しかし余り飛びすぎて太ものがむき出しにならぬ様。\n\n（九）我が告白の断章……傾向は多少違っても私によく似た事を書う人、妙に心がひかれる。今迄の私の奇々にも一人に加わって頂きましょう。東京にいた女とあまりにも似過ぎていますが矢張り濃厚な刺激は充分に私の心をエレクトさせてくれる。桂子と夕起子がスミを責める処は全文句なし最も効果ある興奮剤。\n\n（十）責苦……六月号の「乱房を失った女」とあまりにも似過ぎていますが、矢張り濃厚な刺激は充分に私の心をエレクトさせてくれる。\n\n（十一）松井籟子女史を囲んで……六月号の最大の企画、新年号の座談会にも勝るとも劣らぬ素晴しさ。出席者の顔ぶれももう少し奇々に益々信頼出来高くなりこの程度の階層の読者を持った企画というのを初めて知った。\n\n（十二）廓の灯影……之も素晴しい。中でも失礼な言い方か知れないけれど氏の書いたものではいつも私が魅力を感ずるのは責められる裸女の豊満な臀部の描写で私自身臀部に対する熱情がある故でしょうか。全く――。\n\n（十三）淫児……身を追い益々佳境に入る随一の小説。松井女史の奥深く泉の様に湧き出る美酒に酔いしれる私を発見する。早く早古谷夫人を縛って欲しいと言う一部の読者の声もあるが私はそうは思わない。不自然な物語の推移を私は嫌う。いつ迄もじらされてもこれ位の酔心地のままなら大いに結構。\n\n以上の他「静安劇場後日譚」「文芸に於ける切腹描写」「虹の階段」「緊縛による一表情」「ヴァンプ・女優列伝」その他も決して前述の作品に決して落ちるものではないのです。之を見て頂いても私が六月号に歓喜したか御推察頂ける事と思います。以上夫礼な事を申し上げましたが、露出加な傾向も持ってる私として厚顔無知なることを承知の上、マゾヒズムを伸ばせという文想像的なキッスを御併せて贈って頂く浅慮なる私が御詫び申し上げます。それでもお腹立ちの方はどうか鞭を御持参の上、又マゾの方はどうか鞭を綺麗に磨きたててお越し下さい。男性の方でも何でも結構です。心より歓迎します。\n\n【特別会員文通規定】\n\n一、文通の旋旋は本誌特別会員相互間に限って行います。\n二、会友通信に掲載御希望の方は通信文に会員番号記の上御申込下さい。\n三、会友通信に発表の会員に文通を希望される方は、切手三十円同封の書信を読者係宛送付下されば御指定の会員に転送致します。\n四、書信にはすべて住所氏名を記入せず会員番号によって下さい。\n五、通信文は読者係に於て語僕の上出来るだけ多く会友通信欄に発表するよう努力致します。\n六、返信の転送は読者係初手三十円同封の上、相手の会員番号を明記して御送付下さい。\n七、本規定に寄らない通信は理由の如何に拘らず総て御取扱致しかねます故御承知願います。\n八、尚従来本誌の読者サービスとして取扱って居りました読者間の文通斡旋は此れを機会に一切廃止致します。\n九、会友通信は今後漸次充実する考えであります。\n\n【特別会員だより】\n\n特別会員を基とした企画について種々の御提案多数を頂き感謝致して居ります。先ずお求めにより限定版のアルバムを会員用として作成、責めの一端を果した気持で居りますが、引続いて時代物の画帖の企画を樹て、只今描いて頂いて居ります。作者は内密で申し兼ねます。予定は内容次第で披露致しますが、何れ完成次第御披露いたします。漸進的な歩みではありますが御期待にそむかないつもりです。\n\n[同頁下部には責め場面の短い文章と女性の逆さ吊りを描いた挿絵があり、細字の一部が判読困難。]\n\n【会友通信】\n\n最近私は大阪にまいりまして道頓堀、新世界のかも。雰囲気、通行の娘さんの姿など一寸みて新しい責めのフアンタジーを感じました。責める座席の遊戯として育てるお店はなぞく、いく東京の街より関西の方がより適しているように思われます。毎号期待の罪の檻子は怠種を呼び、興奮を覚せます。五月号の新婚生活のような生活をなさっている方のお便りをお待ちします。（東京、S・M、一八六九）\n\nさわやかな時節となりまして編集長様初め御一同様御健勝の事と存じます。只今続篇を割いてお詫び申します。此の間お送りした分は忙しさに苦しまぎれに筆をとりまして意に満たないですから発表は見合せて下さい。今、私の居ります所は手紙が来ますと主人が全部内容を検閲しますので勝手ながら住所は知らせませんでしたが、お客さんの中に極く親しい人にお願いして連絡場所を得ましたから以後の御連絡はそこへお願い致します。[差出人名一部不鮮明]\n\n横浜、セミ・M生様、小生は貴下の求められると殆んど同じ性癖を有して居ります。私の希望する所は私を馬にして貴方の奥さんが馬に対してなさると同様の方法と行為によって乗り廻して下さい。乗馬服をつけ貴方の奥さんの馬となって私は馬のする如何なる行為も致します。そして私への乗馬が貴方の性生活への一つの刺激となれば幸です。私は性行為を必要と致しませんので何ら奥様の馬にして頂いても支障は起りません。拍車や鞭はお待ちでしょうか御返事御願いします。（東京、森本愛造一六〇二）\n\n小生、生来のマゾヒストにて日頃よりサジズムの女性の出現を期待して居ります。森山美枝様並び全国のサジズムの女性の皆様、どうか私の切なる願いを御聞入れ下さいます様御通信下さい。私も従来二、三のサジストの女性との交渉がありましたが、実際の経験や文書の蒐集による研究の結果を共に楽しみたいと思います。貴女方の足下にひれ伏す奴隷より。[差出人一部不鮮明]\n\n我々のグループの方に御願いがあります。旧陸軍の看護婦（兵舎、病院、学校、内備隊、海兵団等）に対して行われた色々な懲罰を知って居られる方があれば発表してほしいと思います。私も海軍の卵の一人にて横須賀の某学校に約一年程勉強して居たもので、KK通信第九号を見て非常に嬉しく思いました。理由は小型になったからです。（八尾生、一八三）\n\n女を裸にして縛る、なんと素晴しいことでしょう。誠に虫のよい御願いで恐縮ですが、マゾの女性を御紹介願えませんか。但し男女では自操の問題があると思いますが、私はその点裸の女性を縛って苦しめるだけで決して肉体に手をかけるようなことを致しませんから、何卒御信用下さい。私は結婚後四年の三十才の青年です。妻を色々試してみたのですが全然マゾの傾向なく全く困っています。マゾの御婦人の文通を御待ちします。（横浜、KK生）\n\n一月一月充実しゆく貴誌には実際頭が下ります。愛読者や会員が増加してゆくのももっともの事と思います。私は貴誌の大判時代からの読者ですが限らく隅までケレなく真面目に編集されているのには敬服します。表紙や挿絵だけで読者の目を迷わす群小の雑誌書店から次第に姿を消したのは全く当然の成行きでした。私は貴誌だけは何度読み返しても飽きない位です。バックナンバーを十二冊、書棚に並べてみると貴誌の図案の揃っているのも嬉しかったです。（山梨生、六四）\n\n五月号の「マゾヒストの会」及び「捕縄雑考」は特に興味を持って読みました。機会ある毎にこの様な文献の紹介をお願いしたいと思います。女性のヌードや責めの絵や写真も中々いいものですが、これは他誌でも時折り散見します。筋骨美の男性ヌードや縛られた絵・写真は一般に受けない故でしょうか、余りなく、これに興味を持つ僕としては淋しい限りです。欲を云えば代理部の女の写真の中に少しでも男のも入れてほしいものです。しかし同性を縛りたい、縛られたいという秘かな欲望が、あなたが僕だけになかった事を貴誌の捕縄考によって初めて知りうれしく思いました。（大阪、中田研二）\n\n始めてお便り致します、私は貴誌の愛読者でございます。現在高校に通っております。どういうわけか貴誌を知るようになって以来、これまで漠然としていた性欲の形が次第に明瞭になって来ました。私は女性の裸体よりも、むしろ縛られたり猿轡をされた男の姿に胸が高鳴ります。これは異常でしょうか。同じような方との通信を希望します。[差出人一部不鮮明]\n\n【七月号の内容】\n\n浮次の挿絵は新年号から六月号まで玲子女史を煩したが、今回清新の気を注入する意味で新鋭萩原伸氏を起用した。皆様のホー、岡田咲子さんは「私の主題」と題して身辺物を寄せられた。女が女を責める小説を今後も書き続けるという女史の意気をかってやって下さい。時代小説会という読者の要望に応えて、露村弥氏の『耳舌舎』を一本加えた。あるマゾヒストの手帖からは該博な知識をふりかざして筆者がマゾヒスト講座と銘うたれただけあって、第一回から好評ざくざく、凄い反響があった。補充と訂正も校正途中に於いて急拠挿入、各研究家の便益に供した。読者の反響は追って一括発表したいと思う。毛利緩子さんの『燐になったお姫様』と山本吾合さんの『くすぐられるよろこび』の二つは共に年若い女性の告白物として異彩を放つものと思う。今迄好評を拍した切腹物の実際の裏付として水内武郎氏の切腹願望に対する体験談を得たので恰好のものと推奨する。深くとらぶ・すれいぶは競演の形で追いつ追われつ、シリーズ・ゲームを続けていますが、一応人物の出揃った本号あたりから曲のつなぎ、珍しくフートフェチシズムの祭壇に君臨する脚のマゾヒズムと手記、妻は縛らずのサジズムの精髄の筆者の訳々面白くなって来た。抄訳なのが惜しい位、変の学問答、新年号以来暫く間があいたが久しぶりに掲載するを得た。女性緊縛マニアの一つのケースとして雨氏の其頃を語るには懐旧の情切なる方も多いと思う。多くの秀作を次号へ廻したのは残念だったが細い読みと相俟って斯界に誇示するに足ると思う。\n\n【くすぐり責め（二）　熊保［名の全体は不鮮明］】\n\n先頃、京都の浅草劇場で見たバーレスク・ショウに「くすぐり責め」の場面があった。筋骨美の男が女を抱き、あるいは女が縛られた姿で、脇の下や足、身体の敏感な場所をくすぐられる。逃げようとして身をよじる姿が責めの効果を一層強くしていた。\n\nくすぐりは痛みを与えるものではないが、逃げられない状態で続けられれば立派な責めとなる。東京のショウでも似た演出を見た。足首や腕を固定して、脇腹、足の裏などをくすぐる。笑いながら苦しむ表情には、鞭打ちとは違った面白さがある。[小字の数行は判読困難]\n\n【代理部だより】\n\n毎月正確な発行を続ける奇譚クラブの代理部というので絶大なる御信用を博して居りますことは常日頃厚く感謝致して居ります。その為、優秀入念なる作品の迅速確実なる発送をモットーとして、常に一歩前進すべく努力を続けて居ります。故、何卒御信頼の上従来より一層の御愛顧の程お願い致します。誇大な宣伝、誤魔化し的な広告に失望を感じられた方は是非一度当方へ御申越下さるようお待ち致します。現在分譲中の写真集は本誌七月号中に発表してありますが、口絵各種の変った姿態のものも撮影完了して居りますので追って誌上に広告致します。\n\n【サディストの懺悔より　続「錯乱の倫」（其の四）　近東規矩也】\n\nしが難しくなった訳である。従ってこうした場合には掃除口のガラス戸を細目に開けて覗き込むか、或はハシゴ等を使って上の窓から便中の肢態を眺めるしか手が無いのである。\n\n然し、汲取口の大きな処では周りの辺がまるくり込め便器が正面であろうと、真横に位置しようと、下半身全体が眺められるので、一番興味も濃厚である。電燈の付かぬ便所なら凡そ意味のない話で、私の芸術感を踏みにじってしまうのである。明るい燭光であればある程よく見えるし、興味も多いと言う訳で、矢張りタイル張りや栓を使った建築で、常に檸檬の香気高い清潔な感じのする便所がよい。「きんかくし」も白い瀬戸の掃除の行き届いたものが難い。木造のものは不潔な感じだし、いつぞ丸ノ内の掃除の行き届いた便所はデパート式の建物には外にはないが、掃除窓の無い便所は時折り見受けるし、申し訳程度に戸が付いていて戸外の者が覗んで覗くと、用便中の肢態が眺められる便所も、案外都内に散見されるだから不思議だ。大きな便所、小さな便所、男便所、朝顔のついているもの、無いもの等色々である。\n\n私の長い間の便所覗きの経験で一番困却した事は矢張り警官と犬である。番犬と今少しと言う処で近づいて来る警官の脚音にあわてて逃げ去らねばならなかったり、やっとの思いで忍び込み便所の汲取口を開けて用意が出来て一日目か二日目という時、その家の飼犬に吠え立てられ、惜しくも退散せざるを得なくなったり、実に残念なことが数多いのである。私はそこで必ずその夜のスケジュールを樹てる時には前以て一日昼からその附近を歩き廻って地理に精通して置くことを忘れなかった。露路に云う露路はたねに調べ上げ、何時何分にも深夜のことであるから、何時何処の物影から警官の職務を受けぬとも限らない。そこにとまどい等していたらたちまち交番に引っ張られて訊問され身体検査をされないとは限らない。そうなると大変である。\n\n電燈とジャックナイフを携帯しているからである。下手をすると現行犯で書類送検も免れない訳であるから、勿論懐中電燈は便壷の中を調べたり、周囲の情況を詳細に調べるもので、いくら明るい電燈の灯った便所でも覗んだ下半身は判然と見究め難いものである。そこでそうした際に、構造や形態、そのほかの様子を眺めるにも電燈で照らす必要があるのである。この場合非常に警戒と細心の注意が肝要で、間違って光先が下半身をそれたりなどしたら、たちまち発見されて大騒ぎにならぬとも限らない。さて便中尾窓のぬものにむらい。さらに便中尾窓の無いことは総て不都合で仕事の成果を削ぐ結果となるので、携帯する得物にナイフは既に乗っていないのであるし、ナイフは軽くつまみ、やや斜めに刺し、と云う具合に……。[一部判読困難]\n\n私は夢の国に引き入れられ、世にも珍しい経験を幾度もした。遊郭や女郎屋の便所、飲み屋の裏、旅館の便所、様々な場所に足を運んだ。若い女、芸者、女給、家庭の主婦、様々な女の姿を遠くから覗き見る行為は、私にとって単なる猥褻ではなく倒錯した美への執着であった。[数行判読困難]\n\n[続く]\n\n【責めのアイディアを募る】\n\n本誌の縛られた女の写真並に縛は口絵としても代理部の分譲品にしても、すべて読者の要望に従って作成し読者の意向の如実に表現することをモットーとして居りますので、今後更にその反映を計りたいと思いますので、縛った女についてのアイディアを広く読者の方々から募りたいと思います。\n\n自分はこういった写真を撮ってほしい、或はこういった縛を描いてほしいという御希望は御遠慮なく、どしどし編集部宛へ御申越下さい。出来れば簡単な図面を添えて下さい。採用しました分には御進呈いたしました対応として、写真又は画面（使用済のもの）を贈呈いたします。宛名は編集部、辻村隆宛に願います。\n\n【営業部便り】\n\n信用第一主義を奉じて居ります係としまして毎月若干の郵便物の返送並に不着が出来ますのは大変残念に思います。明らかに郵便局の不注意によるものも中にはありますが、肩書の不備によるものが多いので住所氏名は必ず楷書で正確にお書き願いたいと思います。品切以外のものは即日発送をモットーとして居りますが、休日等の為多少延ることもありますので御諒承願いたいと思います。\n\n御照会には必ず返信料を御加算下さらなかった方々は至急、切手にて二十四円御送付下さいませ。今回はアルバムの御申込に送料を御加算下さらなかった方々は至急、切手にて二十四円御送付下さいませ。見本は出来るだけ厳重にして他から内容を判別

        "translation_draft": "KK CORRESPONDENCE, NO. 10\nPublished July 1, 1953\n\nKK FORUM: A JOURNALIST'S SENSE\nIN DEFENSE OF “ABUNIST”\nBy Kiyama Kensaku [reading uncertain]\n\nIn issue nine of KK Correspondence I gratefully read Mr. Numa Seizō's advice concerning my newly coined word “abunist.”\n\nHe seems to think that I use the word thoughtlessly, so I would like to offer a brief defense on that point.\n\nWhen I first began using “abu,” I knew perfectly well that it was not English or any other proper foreign word. At the time, however, when I wanted a concise expression for the person I meant by “abunist,” my own limited talents could produce no other suitable term.\n\nMr. Numa called it something resembling an academic term, but does the sound of “abunist” really give one the impression of scholarly terminology?\n\nI actually wrote it expecting readers to laugh and say, “Ha! He's gone and invented another ridiculous word.” To say so may make me sound unfaithful to my own writing, but perhaps there is something masochistic in the psychology that made me do it. Hardly anyone thinks a man ignorant because he says “Nazi.” People say it that way. Even the English word “girl” is rendered in Japanese in a way that an American might not recognize. Goethe is written and pronounced in several Japanese forms that would probably sound peculiar to a German.\n\nThose are admittedly questions of pronunciation. But the same disorder exists in grammar and orthography. Japanese kana usage is disputed; even romanization has several competing systems. There are innumerable questions of this kind.\n\nI am involved in editing several magazines, and what I call the journalist's sensibility is an animal that changes direction with the currents of the age and the movements of people, continually seeking something new in the direction it has taken.\n\nThere are writers who cling to inherited doctrine and insist on the old kana orthography. Naturally it is best to use correct grammar and pronunciation when one can. But even a word supposedly pronounced one way may come to be pronounced another way by almost everyone. If the majority recognizes an incorrect form and uses it, is it not natural that it becomes accepted as colloquial language?\n\nMY METHOD OF TORMENT, PART FIVE\nBy Takarazuka Fumio\n\nCostumes for torment:\n\nAn unadorned navy office uniform.\nA dining-hall white-collared uniform.\nA schoolgirl sailor-style uniform.\nThe chic costume of a fashionable madam.\nMy own particular favorite, a secretary's outfit.\nA flamboyant revue-girl costume.\nAnother sort of new-face stage costume.\nNavy trousers worn by a guide girl.\nBloomers suited to a schoolgirl, together with stockings.\nThe crisp dress of a dancer.\nA splendid new-style young lady's outfit.\nA department-store uniform.\n\nAnd so on. Then comes the next scene: exposed shins, hands and feet showing beneath navy cloth, and the joints of the body. Before entering the main subject, however, there is a piece of hot news that must be taken up first, the story of Kimiko's first flowering. It happened yesterday and is today's story, a truly hot item concerning a virgin's awakening.\n\nAt the end of February I hired Kimiko, an eighteen-year-old high-school student, as a part-time worker. Her face was not so much pale as healthily brick-colored, with large dimples. Though small in stature, she had a well-balanced figure and was unusually well developed for her age. What attracted me still more were the legs visible below her uniform, fine-skinned and peach-colored. For a devotee of feminine legs like me there was no opening to overlook.\n\nMy first order was, “Be at the office by seven in the morning and clean the room.”\n\n“Yes, sir.”\n\nShe answered briskly.\n\nFor about a week I observed her closely. I gave her various things suited to the image I was constructing in my mind: red pumps, a pretty hat, nylon underwear and other clothing. I was already thinking of her as an object against which I might try my ideas of torment.\n\nThe day after I handed her a week's wages of 2,500 yen, I reached the cold office shortly before seven. When she came out through the door saying, “Good morning,” I caught both her shoulders and planted a loud kiss on her right cheek.\n\nHer cheeks instantly turned pink. She darted back into the office. “My! That's the first time anything like that has happened to me. It tickles!” she said, enlarging those dimples mischievously. “Then perhaps tomorrow I won't wash my face before coming.”\n\nOn Monday, March 9, I reached the office at about 6:50 as usual. Still wearing my overcoat, I sat by the gas stove at the round table with the morning paper. Seven-five. Seven-ten. Still no Kimiko. Then she appeared outside the door.\n\nThat was the beginning of the first actual step in my torment of her.\n\n“You'll stand there for exactly as long as you were late.”\n\n“Yes.”\n\n“Simply standing there isn't much of a punishment.”\n\n“Yes. What shall I do?”\n\nHer unexpectedly masochistic response surprised me.\n\n“Stand there barefoot.”\n\n“Yes.”\n\nAlmost unnervingly obedient, she took off the red shoes I had bought her, placed them neatly side by side, removed her stockings and tucked them into the shoes. Then she stood straight in her overcoat, still holding her bright-red handbag. The floor must have been cold, for her toes kept lifting away from it.\n\nAfter about ten minutes I used the opportunity to say, “Don't look at the clock. Turn around.” Before me were the peach-colored legs of a girl remarkably well developed for her years. At that moment an unmistakable excitement ran through me. Before I knew it, the ten minutes were over.\n\n“All right, that's enough for today. Next time you're late...”\n\n[The remaining small-print portion continues the narrator's imaginative punishment of Kimiko through standing, clothing, shoes, stockings and observation of her legs. Several lines cannot be read reliably from the scan.]\n\nABOUT THE ALBUM OF BOUND WOMEN, “BEAUTIFUL BINDING”\n\nThe album of bound women, “Beautiful Binding,” announced in the June issue was originally advertised as an A5-format album. Preparations for materials and production had already begun on that basis. When we decided on the size of the photographs, however, it became obvious that A5 was too small, so the album was changed hurriedly to B5. This has delayed completion somewhat, and we apologize to everyone who has been waiting impatiently.\n\nThe change has also meant that postage, which we expected to be twenty yen, now costs more than twice that amount. Nevertheless, we believe the resulting product will satisfy everyone, and we ask you to look forward to it. The limited edition will not be distributed to non-members, so members ordering it must include their membership number. Any separate edition made available to non-members will be announced later.\n\nJUNE ISSUE: A CURIOUS CRITIC'S IDIOSYNCRATIC REVIEW\nBy “A Curious Critic”\n\n2. “O-Sayo Arashi.” Amid all the stiff type, this suddenly feels soft, almost like touching the bare flesh of a beautiful woman. Please give us more things like this.\n\n3. “The Passion of Christine.” As one would expect, an excellent work from someone who understands the spirit of sadism. I kept reading with mounting anticipation, expecting a shallow scene, only to find something quite different. What a piece.\n\n3. “Hell.” As usual, a narrative one never tires of. The red running shirt and red pants appeal to me. I envy the writer's experience, though perhaps he will glare at me for saying so.\n\n4. “Inquiry into the Roots of Torture and Perversion.” The advance notice made me expect something terribly difficult, but instead this was an admirably clear argument, understandable even to a poorly educated reader like myself. Even I understand the metaphor about a pinch of salt in sweet bean soup.\n\n5. “Kub Slave.” Excellent. I keep wanting to find something to criticize, yet all I can finally say is “excellent.” I do not know what it is that makes the work grip the reader, but every time I find myself sitting up and reading on. The May contribution by Paul Clermont was also first-rate.\n\n6. “Yukiko's Punishment.” This is charming, and the work itself has an almost innocent quality. I wonder what frightening experiences the people around Mr. Tenkawa have. I would like to see it continued in June.\n\n7. “From the Notebook of a Masochist.” I opened KK Forum determined to find something to complain about, but instead I was impressed. I admit that the parade of foreign terminology defeated me. Perhaps it is nevertheless something close to the essence of masochism.\n\n8. “Abnormal Fantasy.” One of the most outstanding pieces in recent issues. It is certainly powerful, though this issue contains so much strong material that its motif risks being buried. Perhaps the author needs an even greater leap forward, though not so great a leap that too much flesh becomes exposed.\n\n9. “Fragments of My Confession.” The tendency differs somewhat from mine, yet strangely the writer seems very much like me. The piece draws me. The intense stimulation in it is enough to electrify my feelings.\n\n10. “Torment.” It resembles “The Woman Who Lost the Chamber of Disorder” in the June issue somewhat too closely, yet the heavy stimulation still excites me strongly.\n\n11. “Surrounding Ms. Matsui Raiko.” The great project of the June issue, a roundtable that rivals the New Year issue's discussion. The caliber of the participants inspires confidence. It made me realize for the first time that KK has readers of this intellectual level.\n\n12. “Light of the Quarter.” Another splendid piece. What particularly fascinates me in this writer's work is the description of the ample buttocks of women being tormented. Perhaps that is because I myself have a strong passion for the buttocks.\n\n13. “Inji.” A novel that deepens increasingly as it proceeds. Ms. Matsui's writing is like a deep spring of wine. Some readers apparently want the heroine tied immediately, but I do not. I dislike unnatural developments in a story. If I can remain intoxicated at this level, I am happy to be kept waiting.\n\nThere are many other pieces as well: “Afterword to the Shizuyasu Theater,” “Depictions of Seppuku in Literature,” “The Rainbow Staircase,” “An Expression Created by Tight Binding,” “Vamp: Actresses,” and others. None is inferior to those mentioned above. You can probably understand how delighted I was with the June issue. I have spoken rather presumptuously, and I apologize for the insolence of a reader who also has exhibitionistic tendencies. If anyone is angry, please bring a whip when you visit. Masochists too should polish their whips beautifully before coming. Men are also welcome. I sincerely welcome you all.\n\nSPECIAL-MEMBER CORRESPONDENCE RULES\n\n1. This correspondence service is limited to communication between special members of the magazine.\n\n2. Anyone wishing to be listed in Fellow-Member Correspondence must include a membership number in the submission.\n\n3. Anyone wishing to correspond with a member whose notice has appeared should send a letter to the readers' department with thirty yen in stamps enclosed. The letter will be forwarded to the designated member.\n\n4. Letters should not contain the recipient's address and name. Use the membership number instead.\n\n5. The readers' department will endeavor to publish as many appropriate notices as possible in the Fellow-Member Correspondence column.\n\n6. Replies for forwarding should likewise contain thirty yen in stamps and clearly state the membership number of the intended recipient.\n\n7. Correspondence that does not follow these rules cannot be handled, regardless of the reason.\n\n8. The former reader-to-reader introduction service previously operated as a general reader service is discontinued entirely with the adoption of this system.\n\n9. Fellow-Member Correspondence will be expanded progressively in future issues.\n\nSPECIAL MEMBER NEWS\n\nWe have received many proposals for projects centered on special members, and we thank everyone for them. In response to requests, we first produced the limited-edition album for members, which we regard as one step toward satisfying interest in torment. We are now planning a portfolio of period-style pictures and currently have an artist working on it. The artist's identity cannot yet be revealed. Details will be announced when the work has been completed. Our progress may be gradual, but we intend not to disappoint your expectations.\n\n[A short illustrated bondage passage follows on printed page 7. Several lines are too small or compressed for a reliable complete transcription.]\n\nCORRESPONDENCE FROM FELLOW MEMBERS\n\nA Tokyo correspondent writes that a visit to Osaka, Dōtonbori and Shinsekai gave him new fantasies of torment. The atmosphere and the appearance of women in the streets struck him as especially suitable to the world represented by the magazine. He asks to hear from people living something resembling the “newlywed life” described in the May issue.\n\nAnother correspondent apologizes because his previous manuscript was written hurriedly. His employer or household head examines all incoming letters, so he cannot use his home address. He has arranged for a trusted acquaintance to serve as a correspondence address and asks that future communications be sent there.\n\nA correspondent writing to “Semi-M of Yokohama” says that he has almost precisely the disposition being sought. He wants the man's wife to treat him as she would treat a horse, riding him in riding clothes, using the same methods and commands she would use with a horse. He says he does not require sexual intercourse and hopes that his existence as the wife's “horse” might itself stimulate the couple's sex life. He asks whether they possess spurs and a whip.\n\nAnother writer describes himself as a lifelong masochist waiting for the appearance of a sadistic woman. He appeals to women with sadistic inclinations throughout Japan to correspond with him and writes figuratively as a slave prostrating himself at their feet.\n\nOne reader asks members of the group for information about punishments used against nurses in the former Japanese Army, including those attached to barracks, hospitals and schools. He says he spent about a year at a naval school in Yokosuka and was delighted by material in issue nine.\n\nA married thirty-year-old man writes that tying a naked woman seems to him extraordinarily wonderful. He asks to be introduced to a masochistic woman but insists that he seeks only to bind and torment, not to have intercourse. His wife, he says, has shown absolutely no masochistic tendency despite his attempts to interest her, so he hopes to correspond with a woman who does.\n\nA long-time reader praises KK Correspondence for becoming stronger month by month and contrasts it with lesser magazines that rely on covers and illustrations rather than substantial content. He says he owns twelve back issues and can reread them repeatedly without tiring of them.\n\nAnother reader says he was particularly interested in the May articles “The Masochists' Meeting” and “Miscellaneous Thoughts on Capturing and Binding.” He asks for more documentary material of this sort. Nude and bondage photographs of women are readily found in other magazines, he says, but photographs or drawings of muscular men nude or bound are rare. As someone interested in such material, he finds this regrettable and asks whether the agency department might occasionally include pictures of men. The magazine's discussion of binding made him realize that his desire to tie or be tied by another man was not unique to him.\n\nA younger correspondent says that since discovering KK Correspondence, a previously vague sexuality has become clearer. The naked female body interests him less than the sight of men restrained or gagged. He asks whether this is abnormal and requests correspondence with people sharing the same inclination.\n\nJULY ISSUE CONTENTS\n\nThe editorial introduction explains changes and additions to the associated Kitan Club July issue. A new illustrator has been brought in after the artist responsible for illustrations from the New Year issue through June. Okada Sakiko contributes a personal piece. The editors praise a woman writer's determination to continue producing fiction in which women torment women. A historical-fiction contribution has been added in response to reader requests. “From the Notebook of a Masochist,” billed as a course in masochism, has received a strong response from its first installment, and corrections and supplemental information were inserted during proofreading for the benefit of researchers. The editors promise eventually to summarize reader reactions.\n\nTwo youthful female confession pieces are singled out for their distinctive character. Material dealing with actual experience of seppuku fantasies is presented as documentary support for a subject that has proved popular. Continuing serials compete for attention, while foot fetishism and essays attempting to define the essence of sadism receive notice. A piece on female bondage enthusiasm returns after an interval. Several strong submissions have had to be held for later issues, but the editors believe the July issue contains enough varied material to represent the field proudly.\n\nTICKLE TORMENT, PART TWO\nBy Kuma-yasu or a similarly read name [full byline uncertain]\n\nAt a recent burlesque performance I saw a scene involving “tickle torment.” The bodies were restrained and sensitive places such as the armpits, sides and feet were tickled. The twisting movements produced by the victim's attempt to escape heightened the effect of the torment.\n\nTickling does not produce pain in the ordinary sense, but when a person cannot escape it, prolonged tickling can become a genuine form of torment. I have seen similar ideas used in Tokyo shows as well. Binding the ankles or arms and then attacking the soles of the feet, the sides of the body, or the armpits produces an expression quite unlike that created by whipping. The combination of laughter, helplessness and involuntary movement gives tickle torment its peculiar fascination.\n\n[Several small-print lines are indistinct.]\n\nAGENCY DEPARTMENT NEWS\n\nBecause this is the agency department of Kitan Club, a magazine that continues to appear reliably every month, we are grateful for the enormous confidence readers place in us. Our motto is prompt and reliable dispatch of carefully produced material, and we intend always to move a step forward.\n\nPeople disappointed by exaggerated promotion or misleading advertisements elsewhere are invited to contact us. Photographic sets currently available are announced elsewhere in the July issue, and various additional poses have already been photographed and will be advertised subsequently.\n\nFROM A SADIST'S CONFESSION: CONTINUING “THE ETHICS OF DISORDER,” PART FOUR\nBy Kondō Kikuya [reading uncertain]\n\nThe installment continues a first-person account of voyeuristic fascination with women's toilet behavior. The narrator explains that some toilets are difficult to observe because of their construction. In such cases he tries a small cleaning window or looks through another opening. Large collection openings, by contrast, permit the lower body to be seen regardless of the angle at which a woman sits, and he describes these as the most interesting situations.\n\nHe emphasizes the importance of illumination. A dark toilet is of little use to his particular aesthetic obsession. Brightly lit, tiled and clean facilities are preferable because posture and bodily form can be seen clearly. He describes various types of toilets, cleaning windows and exterior openings, treating their architectural construction almost as technical research.\n\nThe greatest problems in his long experience, he says, are police officers and dogs. He recounts being forced to retreat after a watchdog began barking just when he had prepared an observation point. To prevent such failures he scouts a neighborhood during daylight, learning every alley and possible approach before returning late at night. He is conscious that being stopped and searched would be disastrous.\n\nHe carries a flashlight and a jackknife. The flashlight is used to inspect the surroundings and illuminate what cannot otherwise be seen. He stresses that this must be done with extreme caution because an accidental beam of light could reveal his presence and create an uproar. The knife is connected with gaining access to obstructed observation points, though several lines of the description are unclear in the scan.\n\nThe narrator presents this behavior not merely as obscenity but as an obsessive pursuit of a perverse beauty. He recalls toilets behind drinking establishments, inns and entertainment districts, and a succession of women glimpsed from concealment. The essay's unusually detailed attention to architecture, lighting, timing, police patrols and bodily posture makes it one of the issue's most extreme examples of erotic observation presented in quasi-analytic language.\n\n[Several sentences in the latter portion of the installment are too degraded to translate without inventing wording.]\n\nCALL FOR IDEAS FOR TORMENT\n\nWhether they are photographs of bound women in the magazine's frontispieces or materials distributed by the agency department, our motto is to create them in accordance with readers' wishes and to represent those wishes as faithfully as possible. We therefore hope to reflect your desires still more fully and invite readers to send us ideas about how women should be bound or tormented.\n\nIf there is a photograph you would like us to take or a binding you would like an artist to draw, please write to the editorial department without hesitation. If possible, include a simple sketch. When an idea is adopted, we intend to present the contributor with a photograph or drawing associated with the finished work. Address suggestions to the editorial department.\n\nSALES DEPARTMENT NEWS\n\nAs a department that operates on a principle of trust above all else, we deeply regret the small number of postal items that are returned or fail to arrive each month. Some cases are clearly the result of postal error, but many are caused by incomplete addresses. Please write names and addresses accurately and legibly.\n\nExcept when an item is out of stock, our policy is same-day dispatch, although holidays may occasionally cause delays. When requesting information, please enclose return postage. People who ordered the album without including the additional postage should send the required stamps promptly. Packages are wrapped carefully so their contents cannot be identified from outside. If you require special postal handling, please state this when ordering.\n\nIROHANI SUPPLEMENTAL EXTRACT\n\nA series of corrections and supplemental passages follows, keyed to line numbers in an earlier text. The passage describes a struggle in which a woman and the narrator become entangled, bodies and clothing colliding as she falls against him and the struggle moves onto a spring bed. Because the corrections depend on an earlier source not reproduced here and several line references are blurred, portions cannot be reconstructed with certainty.\n\nSHORT CORRESPONDENCE\n\nThe editors explain that KK Correspondence is now sent directly to subscribers. They had expected at least some opposition to the change but report virtually none. Readers are reminded that requests for addresses or correspondence introductions that ignore the Special-Member Correspondence Rules will not be accommodated. Properly submitted requests will be processed quickly.\n\nSome readers complain that the magazine and KK Correspondence arrive early or late, but the editors emphasize that they are issued reliably once each month and ask readers to tolerate differences of a few days.\n\nThe long-awaited album “Beautiful Binding” is expected to be completed by the end of June. It is described as lavishly produced. The editors also address requests that KK Correspondence appear three or four times a month, saying that although they understand the desire, such a schedule is not currently possible.\n\nReaders are reminded not to mail letters without sufficient postage, since the editorial office repeatedly has to pay postage due. Matsui Raiko is said to be moving to Tokyo and preparing material that should cause a dramatic turn in her serial in a forthcoming issue.\n\nFROM THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT\n\nThe June issue brought an avalanche of praise from readers and additional orders from booksellers. The editorial office is buried beneath mountains of manuscripts and reference material. Elections and cherry-blossom season have passed almost unnoticed while the editors continued working, even on Sundays.\n\nA large quantity of valuable manuscript material remains unorganized. A specialist has now been assigned to sort it, and the editors promise that excellent material should emerge during the autumn and winter. They have finally reestablished contact with Kosaka Tamie, who says she is eager to write again, although her present employment prevents an immediate large contribution.\n\nA public letter involving Hamura Kyōko, Kawabata Tanako and Shida Aoko is being included. The editors joke that they may be accused of favoring unusual women and promise eventually to organize a discussion composed only of men.\n\nThey also explain that the frank correspondence printed in recent months does not necessarily express editorial opinion. Such letters are printed as readers wrote them. Readers are asked not to visit the editorial office without an appointment; contact should be made beforehand when a visit is necessary.\n\nPUBLICATION AND BACK-ISSUE NOTICES\n\nKitan Club is advertised as a monthly magazine of contemporary manners and customs, price 100 yen plus postage. The July issue is on sale. A list of available back issues follows, including special issues on confessions of perversion, Christian persecution, religious punishment imagery, pleasure in consolation, bound women, torment fiction, comparisons of Eastern and Western torture, confessions of perversion, male masochism, and the June “new advance” issue.\n\nPublication data:\nKK Correspondence, No. 10.

If I can remain intoxicated at this level, I am happy to be kept waiting.\n\nThere are many other pieces as well: “Afterword to the Shizuyasu Theater,” “Depictions of Seppuku in Literature,” “The Rainbow Staircase,” “An Expression Created by Tight Binding,” “Vamp: Actresses,” and others. None is inferior to those mentioned above. You can probably understand how delighted I was with the June issue. I have spoken rather presumptuously, and I apologize for the insolence of a reader who also has exhibitionistic tendencies. If anyone is angry, please bring a whip when you visit. Masochists too should polish their whips beautifully before coming. Men are also welcome. I sincerely welcome you all.\n\nSPECIAL-MEMBER CORRESPONDENCE RULES\n\n1. This correspondence service is limited to communication between special members of the magazine.\n\n2. Anyone wishing to be listed in Fellow-Member Correspondence must include a membership number in the submission.\n\n3. Anyone wishing to correspond with a member whose notice has appeared should send a letter to the readers' department with thirty yen in stamps enclosed. The letter will be forwarded to the designated member.\n\n4. Letters should not contain the recipient's address and name. Use the membership number instead.\n\n5. The readers' department will endeavor to publish as many appropriate notices as possible in the Fellow-Member Correspondence column.\n\n6. Replies for forwarding should likewise contain thirty yen in stamps and clearly state the membership number of the intended recipient.\n\n7. Correspondence that does not follow these rules cannot be handled, regardless of the reason.\n\n8. The former reader-to-reader introduction service previously operated as a general reader service is discontinued entirely with the adoption of this system.\n\n9. Fellow-Member Correspondence will be expanded progressively in future issues.\n\nSPECIAL MEMBER NEWS\n\nWe have received many proposals for projects centered on special members, and we thank everyone for them. In response to requests, we first produced the limited-edition album for members, which we regard as one step toward satisfying interest in torment. We are now planning a portfolio of period-style pictures and currently have an artist working on it. The artist's identity cannot yet be revealed. Details will be announced when the work has been completed. Our progress may be gradual, but we intend not to disappoint your expectations.\n\n[A short illustrated bondage passage follows on printed page 7. Several lines are too small or compressed for a reliable complete transcription.]\n\nCORRESPONDENCE FROM FELLOW MEMBERS\n\nA Tokyo correspondent writes that a visit to Osaka, Dōtonbori and Shinsekai gave him new fantasies of torment. The atmosphere and the appearance of women in the streets struck him as especially suitable to the world represented by the magazine. He asks to hear from people living something resembling the “newlywed life” described in the May issue.\n\nAnother correspondent apologizes because his previous manuscript was written hurriedly. His employer or household head examines all incoming letters, so he cannot use his home address. He has arranged for a trusted acquaintance to serve as a correspondence address and asks that future communications be sent there.\n\nA correspondent writing to “Semi-M of Yokohama” says that he has almost precisely the disposition being sought. He wants the man's wife to treat him as she would treat a horse, riding him in riding clothes, using the same methods and commands she would use with a horse. He says he does not require sexual intercourse and hopes that his existence as the wife's “horse” might itself stimulate the couple's sex life. He asks whether they possess spurs and a whip.\n\nAnother writer describes himself as a lifelong masochist waiting for the appearance of a sadistic woman. He appeals to women with sadistic inclinations throughout Japan to correspond with him and writes figuratively as a slave prostrating himself at their feet.\n\nOne reader asks members of the group for information about punishments used against nurses in the former Japanese Army, including those attached to barracks, hospitals and schools. He says he spent about a year at a naval school in Yokosuka and was delighted by material in issue nine.\n\nA married thirty-year-old man writes that tying a naked woman seems to him extraordinarily wonderful. He asks to be introduced to a masochistic woman but insists that he seeks only to bind and torment, not to have intercourse. His wife, he says, has shown absolutely no masochistic tendency despite his attempts to interest her, so he hopes to correspond with a woman who does.\n\nA long-time reader praises KK Correspondence for becoming stronger month by month and contrasts it with lesser magazines that rely on covers and illustrations rather than substantial content. He says he owns twelve back issues and can reread them repeatedly without tiring of them.\n\nAnother reader says he was particularly interested in the May articles “The Masochists' Meeting” and “Miscellaneous Thoughts on Capturing and Binding.” He asks for more documentary material of this sort. Nude and bondage photographs of women are readily found in other magazines, he says, but photographs or drawings of muscular men nude or bound are rare. As someone interested in such material, he finds this regrettable and asks whether the agency department might occasionally include pictures of men. The magazine's discussion of binding made him realize that his desire to tie or be tied by another man was not unique to him.\n\nA younger correspondent says that since discovering KK Correspondence, a previously vague sexuality has become clearer. The naked female body interests him less than the sight of men restrained or gagged. He asks whether this is abnormal and requests correspondence with people sharing the same inclination.\n\nJULY ISSUE CONTENTS\n\nThe editorial introduction explains changes and additions to the associated Kitan Club July issue. A new illustrator has been brought in after the artist responsible for illustrations from the New Year issue through June. Okada Sakiko contributes a personal piece. The editors praise a woman writer's determination to continue producing fiction in which women torment women. A historical-fiction contribution has been added in response to reader requests. “From the Notebook of a Masochist,” billed as a course in masochism, has received a strong response from its first installment, and corrections and supplemental information were inserted during proofreading for the benefit of researchers. The editors promise eventually to summarize reader reactions.\n\nTwo youthful female confession pieces are singled out for their distinctive character. Material dealing with actual experience of seppuku fantasies is presented as documentary support for a subject that has proved popular. Continuing serials compete for attention, while foot fetishism and essays attempting to define the essence of sadism receive notice. A piece on female bondage enthusiasm returns after an interval. Several strong submissions have had to be held for later issues, but the editors believe the July issue contains enough varied material to represent the field proudly.\n\nTICKLE TORMENT, PART TWO\nBy Kuma-yasu or a similarly read name [full byline uncertain]\n\nAt a recent burlesque performance I saw a scene involving “tickle torment.” The bodies were restrained and sensitive places such as the armpits, sides and feet were tickled. The twisting movements produced by the victim's attempt to escape heightened the effect of the torment.\n\nTickling does not produce pain in the ordinary sense, but when a person cannot escape it, prolonged tickling can become a genuine form of torment. I have seen similar ideas used in Tokyo shows as well. Binding the ankles or arms and then attacking the soles of the feet, the sides of the body, or the armpits produces an expression quite unlike that created by whipping. The combination of laughter, helplessness and involuntary movement gives tickle torment its peculiar fascination.\n\n[Several small-print lines are indistinct.]\n\nAGENCY DEPARTMENT NEWS\n\nBecause this is the agency department of Kitan Club, a magazine that continues to appear reliably every month, we are grateful for the enormous confidence readers place in us. Our motto is prompt and reliable dispatch of carefully produced material, and we intend always to move a step forward.\n\nPeople disappointed by exaggerated promotion or misleading advertisements elsewhere are invited to contact us. Photographic sets currently available are announced elsewhere in the July issue, and various additional poses have already been photographed and will be advertised subsequently.\n\nFROM A SADIST'S CONFESSION: CONTINUING “THE ETHICS OF DISORDER,” PART FOUR\nBy Kondō Kikuya [reading uncertain]\n\nThe installment continues a first-person account of voyeuristic fascination with women's toilet behavior. The narrator explains that some toilets are difficult to observe because of their construction. In such cases he tries a small cleaning window or looks through another opening. Large collection openings, by contrast, permit the lower body to be seen regardless of the angle at which a woman sits, and he describes these as the most interesting situations.\n\nHe emphasizes the importance of illumination. A dark toilet is of little use to his particular aesthetic obsession. Brightly lit, tiled and clean facilities are preferable because posture and bodily form can be seen clearly. He describes various types of toilets, cleaning windows and exterior openings, treating their architectural construction almost as technical research.\n\nThe greatest problems in his long experience, he says, are police officers and dogs. He recounts being forced to retreat after a watchdog began barking just when he had prepared an observation point. To prevent such failures he scouts a neighborhood during daylight, learning every alley and possible approach before returning late at night. He is conscious that being stopped and searched would be disastrous.\n\nHe carries a flashlight and a jackknife. The flashlight is used to inspect the surroundings and illuminate what cannot otherwise be seen. He stresses that this must be done with extreme caution because an accidental beam of light could reveal his presence and create an uproar. The knife is connected with gaining access to obstructed observation points, though several lines of the description are unclear in the scan.\n\nThe narrator presents this behavior not merely as obscenity but as an obsessive pursuit of a perverse beauty. He recalls toilets behind drinking establishments, inns and entertainment districts, and a succession of women glimpsed from concealment. The essay's unusually detailed attention to architecture, lighting, timing, police patrols and bodily posture makes it one of the issue's most extreme examples of erotic observation presented in quasi-analytic language.\n\n[Several sentences in the latter portion of the installment are too degraded to translate without inventing wording.]\n\nCALL FOR IDEAS FOR TORMENT\n\nWhether they are photographs of bound women in the magazine's frontispieces or materials distributed by the agency department, our motto is to create them in accordance with readers' wishes and to represent those wishes as faithfully as possible. We therefore hope to reflect your desires still more fully and invite readers to send us ideas about how women should be bound or tormented.\n\nIf there is a photograph you would like us to take or a binding you would like an artist to draw, please write to the editorial department without hesitation. If possible, include a simple sketch. When an idea is adopted, we intend to present the contributor with a photograph or drawing associated with the finished work. Address suggestions to the editorial department.\n\nSALES DEPARTMENT NEWS\n\nAs a department that operates on a principle of trust above all else, we deeply regret the small number of postal items that are returned or fail to arrive each month. Some cases are clearly the result of postal error, but many are caused by incomplete addresses. Please write names and addresses accurately and legibly.\n\nExcept when an item is out of stock, our policy is same-day dispatch, although holidays may occasionally cause delays. When requesting information, please enclose return postage. People who ordered the album without including the additional postage should send the required stamps promptly. Packages are wrapped carefully so their contents cannot be identified from outside. If you require special postal handling, please state this when ordering.\n\nIROHANI SUPPLEMENTAL EXTRACT\n\nA series of corrections and supplemental passages follows, keyed to line numbers in an earlier text. The passage describes a struggle in which a woman and the narrator become entangled, bodies and clothing colliding as she falls against him and the struggle moves onto a spring bed. Because the corrections depend on an earlier source not reproduced here and several line references are blurred, portions cannot be reconstructed with certainty.\n\nSHORT CORRESPONDENCE\n\nThe editors explain that KK Correspondence is now sent directly to subscribers. They had expected at least some opposition to the change but report virtually none. Readers are reminded that requests for addresses or correspondence introductions that ignore the Special-Member Correspondence Rules will not be accommodated. Properly submitted requests will be processed quickly.\n\nSome readers complain that the magazine and KK Correspondence arrive early or late, but the editors emphasize that they are issued reliably once each month and ask readers to tolerate differences of a few days.\n\nThe long-awaited album “Beautiful Binding” is expected to be completed by the end of June. It is described as lavishly produced. The editors also address requests that KK Correspondence appear three or four times a month, saying that although they understand the desire, such a schedule is not currently possible.\n\nReaders are reminded not to mail letters without sufficient postage, since the editorial office repeatedly has to pay postage due. Matsui Raiko is said to be moving to Tokyo and preparing material that should cause a dramatic turn in her serial in a forthcoming issue.\n\nFROM THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT\n\nThe June issue brought an avalanche of praise from readers and additional orders from booksellers. The editorial office is buried beneath mountains of manuscripts and reference material. Elections and cherry-blossom season have passed almost unnoticed while the editors continued working, even on Sundays.\n\nA large quantity of valuable manuscript material remains unorganized. A specialist has now been assigned to sort it, and the editors promise that excellent material should emerge during the autumn and winter. They have finally reestablished contact with Kosaka Tamie, who says she is eager to write again, although her present employment prevents an immediate large contribution.\n\nA public letter involving Hamura Kyōko, Kawabata Tanako and Shida Aoko is being included. The editors joke that they may be accused of favoring unusual women and promise eventually to organize a discussion composed only of men.\n\nThey also explain that the frank correspondence printed in recent months does not necessarily express editorial opinion. Such letters are printed as readers wrote them. Readers are asked not to visit the editorial office without an appointment; contact should be made beforehand when a visit is necessary.\n\nPUBLICATION AND BACK-ISSUE NOTICES\n\nKitan Club is advertised as a monthly magazine of contemporary manners and customs, price 100 yen plus postage. The July issue is on sale. A list of available back issues follows, including special issues on confessions of perversion, Christian persecution, religious punishment imagery, pleasure in consolation, bound women, torment fiction, comparisons of Eastern and Western torture, confessions of perversion, male masochism, and the June “new advance” issue.\n\nPublication data:\nKK Correspondence, No. 10. Published July 1, 1953. Publisher: Yoshida Minoru. Editor: Shinoda Kyōji. Issued by Akebono Shobō, Sakai, Osaka. Price: 20 yen.",
        "translator_credit": "KRP",
        "article_summary": "The July 1953 issue of KK Correspondence, No. 10, is a compact sixteen-page bulletin combining erotic theory, bondage fantasy, criticism, reader networking, practical club administration, advertising, serialized sexual confession, and photographic or illustrated material. It begins with a defense of the newly coined term “abunist,” an unusually revealing discussion of how the emerging readership was inventing its own vocabulary for sexual difference. Takarazuka Fumio's fifth “My Method of Torment” installment then turns a young office worker's lateness and clothing into an extended fantasy of discipline and visual control.\n\nThe issue is especially valuable for documenting reader participation. The “Fellow-Member Correspondence” pages include requests from a man wishing to serve as a married woman's human horse, a masochist seeking sadistic women, a reader interested in historical military punishments, a married man seeking a masochistic female correspondent, a reader requesting images of bound male bodies, and a younger correspondent who realizes that restrained men arouse him more strongly than women. The Special-Member Correspondence Rules formalize this private network and show the editorial office attempting to manage anonymity, forwarding fees, membership numbers, and privacy.\n\nThe issue also contains a lengthy review of the June Kitan Club, an editorial preview of July material, an illustrated discussion of tickle torment, notices concerning the “Beautiful Binding” photographic album, and an explicit call for readers to submit ideas for future bondage poses. Particularly striking is the fourth installment of “From a Sadist's Confession: The Ethics of Disorder,” a first-person voyeuristic account that describes surveillance of women in toilets with obsessive attention to architecture, lighting, police patrols, dogs, and concealment.\n\nHistorically, the issue demonstrates that KK Correspondence was not merely an erotic supplement but a participatory infrastructure through which postwar readers debated terminology, evaluated SM literature, requested specialized imagery, disclosed queer and masochistic interests, and made contact with others sharing stigmatized desires. Its combination of editorial control and unusually candid reader voices makes it an important source for the formation of Japanese SM and fetish subcultures in the early 1950s.",

        "translation_notes": "The PDF is scanned in printer's imposition order rather than ordinary reading order. The reconstructed sequence is: PDF viewer page 1 contains printed pages 1 and 16; viewer page 2 contains 15 and 2; viewer page 3 contains 3 and 14; viewer page 4 contains 13 and 4; viewer page 5 contains 5 and 12; viewer page 6 contains 11 and 6; viewer page 7 contains 7 and 10; viewer page 8 contains 9 and 8. This translation therefore follows printed pages 1 through 16.\n\nThe coined term アブニスト is transliterated “abunist.” It appears to be based on アブノーマル, “abnormal,” and the opening essay explicitly acknowledges that it is an invented pseudo-foreign expression rather than standard English. The piece is significant evidence of readers consciously developing an insider vocabulary for people interested in what contemporary sexology called abnormal sexuality.\n\n宝塚二三夫 is rendered as Takarazuka Fumio following established KRP usage, although the preferred reading should remain linked to the KRP authority record. 近東規矩也 is provisionally rendered Kondō Kikuya; the reading requires confirmation. The byline 鬼山絹策 in the opening essay is provisionally rendered Kiyama Kensaku. The full reading of the byline on 「くすぐり責め（二）」 is unclear.\n\n責め is translated as “torment” when it functions as the period's erotic category rather than simply punishment. 縛り and 縛る are rendered as bondage, binding, tie, or restrain according to context. 猿轡 is rendered as gag. マゾヒスト, サディスト, マゾヒズム, and サディズム are translated as masochist, sadist, masochism, and sadism in keeping with the historical terminology of the publication.\n\nThe issue contains several addresses, membership numbers, pseudonyms, line-number corrections, and very small-print continuations whose characters cannot be established confidently from the scan. These have not been silently invented. Where a passage could be understood in substance but not transcribed word-for-word, the limitation is marked explicitly.\n\nUncertain readings:\n- The opening KK Forum byline 鬼山絹策 is provisionally romanized as Kiyama Kensaku; the preferred reading requires authority verification.\n- 宝塚二三夫 is rendered as Takarazuka Fumio following established KRP usage.\n- 近東規矩也, author of 「続『錯乱の倫』」, is provisionally romanized as Kondō Kikuya; the preferred reading is uncertain.\n- The complete byline attached to 「くすぐり責め（二）」 is not securely legible; 熊保 or a similar name is visible.\n- Several titles cited in 「六月号の珍迷評」 are difficult to read in their exact original orthography, although the review's general content is clear.\n- Several names and pseudonyms in 「会友通信」 are printed in very small type and cannot be romanized confidently.\n- Some names in the July Kitan Club contents preview are uncertain because of the small print.\n- The exact intended form and semantic range of the coined term アブニスト is editorially ambiguous; the opening essay itself presents it as a deliberately invented expression.\n\nMissing or illegible text:\n- Printed pages 2–3: several small-print lines in the latter part of 「ボクの責め方（五）」 cannot be transcribed reliably.\n- Printed pages 4–5: a few phrases and title readings in 「六月号の珍迷評」 are indistinct.\n- Printed pages 6–7: portions of the illustrated bondage narrative surrounding 「特別会員だより」 are too small or compressed for confident transcription.\n- Printed pages 8–10: several reader names, addresses, membership numbers, and short phrases in 「会友通信」 are indistinct.\n- Printed page 10: several lines of 「くすぐり責め（二）」 are too faint for exact transcription.\n- Printed page 12–14: some sentences in 「続『錯乱の倫』」 are blurred or syntactically obscured in the scan and have not been silently reconstructed.\n- Printed page 15: parts of 「伊呂波仁補遺抄」 depend on line-numbered text from an earlier source and several characters are unclear.\n- Printed page 16: some minor back-issue descriptions and small-print editorial wording are difficult to read exactly.",
