The Kinbaku Society of Berlin Magazine

The Kinbaku Society of Berlin Magazine is published twice a year, offering a bold and uncensored mix of visual inspiration and in-depth research. Our focus lies in both traditional and contemporary Japanese underground culture—particularly Rope Bondage, Adult Entertainment, and Aesthetics—and how these are perceived in the West.
More broadly, we explore subcultures and the fringes of normative society, aiming to create a platform for genuine human expression. We give voice to those who are deviant (hentai), who don’t quite fit the mold, but who nonetheless have every right to exist.

Our magazine is filled with photography, poetry, novels, articles, documentation, drawings, and interviews.
We produce this art magazine for your delight—as well as our own.

To stay in touch: follow us on Telegram, Instagram, X or FetLife.

Submissions welcome!

The Kinbaku Society of Berlin Magazine is dedicated to encouraging research, creativity, and personal development in anyone drawn to the themes we explore.
Whether you’re a reader or a creator, you are an essential part of our community—and we want you to know that your voice matters. If you have content you feel belongs in the magazine, we would love to see it.

Our story

This project began as a forum, initiated by a group of enthusiastic, creative individuals who came together to study Kinbaku—and the sublime eroticism woven into it. We sought to understand both historical and contemporary Japanese concepts of beauty, and how these might be thoughtfully translated within a European cultural context. Our aim was (and still is) to shape an original expression of Kinbaku—one that honors its Japanese origins without appropriating them.

The outcomes of our studies were published in a printed quarterly magazine, featuring poetry, fiction, essays, documentation, drawings, and photography. We started in 2019 with a small group of our students and just 100 copies. During the COVID years, with the support of friends across Europe, we expanded to produce 16 issues in total, with a final print run of 350 copies.
There was never a formal membership—only a shared sense of participation and contribution.
Above all, this has always been a not-for-profit project, born from passion.
