Go Arisue (有末 剛,Arisue Gō) is one of the world's topkinbakushi (Japanesebondage artists).
Born in 1954 he became interested in rope bondage at an early age inspired by paintings of the legendary bondage artistSeiu Ito and the works ofAkira Minomura.
His career began in the 1970s when he worked for SM magazines like SM Select and SM Fan. He also did the bondage for movies, including the erotic romanceAngel Guts: "Akai Nawa Hateru Made" (Until the Red Rope Runs Out), directed bySuzuki Junichi in 1987.[1] In 2004, he did the rope work and appeared in the movieFlower and Snake, starringAya Sugimoto and directed byTakashi Ishii.[2][3] This was a remake of the 1974 filmFlower and Snake, a soft-core classic based on the SM novel byOniroku Dan. He is also featured inBakushi, a 2007 documentary about the art of Japanese bondage, byRyūichi Hiroki.[4]
Today Arisue lives in Tokyo and works as akinbaku performer, tutor and author, occasionally giving workshops abroad.[5]
