Akechi Denki was one of the truly great modern Japanese Rope Artists. He was a Kinbakushi, a master of the erotic art of Kinbaku. He passed away on July 17, 2005, at the age of 64. He has left us a large legacy of images to appreciate for many years. He was someone that I personally admitted greatly for many years. He made many videos and appeared on mainstream Japanese TV.
He will be remembered as one of the four respected Grand Masters of Kinbaku in the late 20th century. Chimuo Nureki, Yukimura Haruk and Arisue Go. Chimuo Nureki (b.1930 Tokyo) with Akio Fuji, founded the legendary bondage enthusiasts club known now as "Kinbiken" (Kinbaku-Bi Kenkyuukai); also among this small fraternity of masters are the amazing Yukimura Haruki; and Arisue Go who was featured as the bondage master in the 2004 remake of the classic "Hana to Hebi" (Flower and Snake).

Akechi Denki ( 09/11/1940 - 07/17/2005 ) is one of the patriarchs of Shibari.
Most colleagues admit that it was Akechi Denki who did a lot to improve the technique of binding. Including adapting elements from hojojutsu into shibari. They also note the extraordinary complexity and beauty of his performances.
Akechi Denki always wore black glasses (and most often black clothes to boot) to his performances. According to one legend, he wore them to emphasize his invisibility, to bring to the fore the model and beauty of her suffering. From other sources, he had sensitive eyesight and the stage lights caused him great discomfort. Be that as it may, this appearance is recognizable 🙂
Quote from his interview: “In SM, shibari is communication between two people through a rope. This is the connection between their hearts, made with a rope. Therefore, the rope must be embraced by love, as the hands of a mother embrace her child.
