SM Sniper. Extremely rare and difficult to find outside of Japan.
Cult glossy fetish magazine published in Japan between 1979 - 2009 that, unlike previous SM magazines, didn't centre so much around professional kinbakushi, favouring instead the exploration of new innovations of fetish and underground sex culture and emphasising the work of the models, stylists, make-up artists, and fashions designers, as much as the writers or photographers. The "new wave" of SM culture, embedded in 1980s underground music, fashion and visual art culture in Japan. Explicitly and profusely illustrated, issues are packed from cover-to-cover with all manner of SM and fetish photoshoots, illustrations, comics, essays, diaries, reports, exhibitions, reviews, interviews, and included regular contributors such as Masami Akita (Merzbow), Kazuo Kamimura, Domu Kitahara, Makoto Orui, Kinichi Tanaka, Nobuhiko Ansai, Masaaki Toyoura... Each issue is also brimming with amazing Japanese advertisements and classifieds for the latest bondage clubs, boutiques, fashion, toys, video and publication catalogues, hook-ups, phone sex, and much more. This issue includes Nobuyoshi Araki, Tadao Chigusa, Kenichi Yamakawa, Sachiko Nakamura, Guido Crepax "Story of O" comic instalment, How to Tattoo, all the usual and more... Not for the faint of heart
