Gravure model Minako Kukmai is no stranger to posing for crowds of men, or showing off her curvacious body to the camera. So, when I heard she was putting on a bondage exhibition to promote her role in the upcoming film Hana to Hebi 3, I wasn't the least bit surprised -- after all, she's a model. That's what she was paid to do, right?

Reportedly, there were over 1,000 men in attendance for the spectacle. It was quite a show, with the model being suspended in mid-air while wearing a silk kimono that emphasized her trademark F-cups. The kimono went transparent after being doused in water at the end. 

For those of you who aren't too familiar with the series, the films typically follow the story of a woman with a fetish for being tied up. The films have varying degrees of bondage play involved. Needless to say, they aren't exactly for everyone. Thankfully, the fact that woman is a willing participant probably makes these some of the least exploitative bondage films you could find in Japan.

Back in June, a clip was posted of Minako Komukai being tied up by kinbakushi Go Arisue during a rehearsal session for the film. Check it out after the break -- don't worry, she's clothed.
