| 1. Arisue Go Original Tenugui
As you can sense from some pictures, “sarugutsuwa” (gag) with “tenugui” (Japanese traditional hand towel) is one of the most favorite bits of Arisue.
Finally Jugoya have custom made our original tenugui! No other tenugui is designed to suit to sarugutsuwa purpose :)
You can enjoy gag with this cloth, or can display on the wall as an artistic object, or of course you can wipe your hands or tableware as its original uses.
Drawing and design by Kogure.
Available limited numbers only.
*100% cotton
*Approx. 33cm x 90cm
*Both ends are not sewn as tenugui’s standard. Frays will naturally stop during uses.
*Prepared with “noshigami” (paper attached as an auspicious symbol to the wrapping used for a gift in Japan)
* 2 colored print
*Price : 1,000yen
2. Tutorial Book in English
**Shipments start on May 27.
Arisue and all other staffs have been working very hard on the new tutorial book which we believe is the first tutorial book in English by a Japanese kinbakushi.
The book is now finally under the printing process - we expect to have them on May 15th in our hand, just the day before our departure to Europe!
It’s almost a miracle that the book will be published with such a short time thanks to professional jobs and great help of the staffs.
To celebrate Arisue’s first international performance tour commencing on May 16th, JUGOYA decided to publish a kinbaku tutorial book in English complying with our customers’ requests.
As Arisue didn’t want to compromise or be restricted the contents what to cover, we chose the way to publish it by ourselves. As you might be aware, publishers (only in Japan?) always try to put “adult entertainment” tastes in this kind of books such as schoolgirl uniform, nudity, ejaculation play, etc. which actually Arisue really doesn’t want. What we wanted to make this time was a pure tutorial book.
So, the coming book is a brand-new, is not a translated version of the existing books. All pictures and contents are newly taken and written for this book.
Of course essential logics and techniques of kinbaku are something unchangeable, so the basic contents are overlapping with existing books while some parts are improved (Arisue himself is still evolving and improving).
Outstanding feature of this book is even more plentiful of step by step pictures which clearly show Arisue’s process of basic kinbaku forms. Many close-up shots are added for complicated or important points.
This book should be completely “customs safe” for international shipments because it doesn’t include nude or porn shots. But we believe the gravure pictures are erotic though they are with clothes on.
(For your information, we have not received any report on customs troubles so far regarding existing 3 books. Only report we have heard is, a customer in Germany had a phone call from the customs to check his age if he was adult enough to have the book but he received it.)
We will hand carry a part of the very first copies to Copenhagen, Denmark on May 16th, expect to have a JUGOYA booth at a 30th anniversary event of SMil (http://bdsm.far-out.dk/Smil30aar16Maj2009.pdf). Then to Arisue’s workshops in Stockholm (Sweden), Oslo (Norway), Copenhagen again, followed by KinbaCon (http://kinbacon.org/) in Ukraine on May 23rd.
For the rest other customers the book will be exclusively delivered from JUGOYA website (http://www.jugoya.com) after we return to Japan on May 26th.
