A Where Frost Reign favorite, S&M Collector alias Collector is a Japanese rope bondage magazine founded by Toshiyuki Suma and Shin Miyasaka – two intrinsic voices in kinbaku culture, today synonymous with SM magazines The Kitan Club and SM Select. Published monthly by Sun Publishing December 1972 to May 1985, it pioneered the kinbaku magazine sector throughout the golden era of 20th Century Triple-X publishing. S&M Collector’s influence is today seen in successive brands like the genre-defining magazines S&M Sniper and Chimuo Nureki’s Kinbiken Communication. Nureki appear in S&M Collector as Kan-ichiro Yutaka with photographer Akio Fuji.
For Where Frost Reign, S&M Collector is the epitome of kinbaku anno the golden era. Collector in print represents a singular SM-identity. Studying the title today, readers will find it a cross between subversive art magazine, SM curiosa and kinbaku literature journal. The editorial place emphasis on Japanese contents, but also include international bondage. Each monthly offer ritualistic kinbaku and savage subjugation scenarios opposite gekiga manga and evocative art from masters Kaname Ozuma to Namio Harukawa. Many of today’s new arrivals also feature writings and SM short stories by author and iconoclast Oniroku Dan.
In essence, Collector is a visionary continuation of the sadomasochistic perspectives and aesthetic languages established by Toshiyuki Suma in kinbaku magazines The Kitan Club, Uramado and SM Select – from 1951 and two decades onwards. Today we can understand S&M Collector as a cultural bridge between master Seiu Ito, the foregone postwar years, and present day practitioners like kinbakushi Akira Naka. By contemporary standards, Collector remain a frontier and thought provoking SM perspective that value substance and craft. Looking to current kinbaku in 2025, there are few magazines or creative authorships able to match wits with S&M Collector’s might.
Toshiyuki Suma – a student of master Seiu Ito – retired in 1979 from his kinbaku practice and S&M Collector. He was succeeded by his apprentice Chimuo Nureki, who took on duties for approximate a dozen SM prints – Collector being one. Today, master Akira Naka is a continunation of this kinbaku lineage.
