Kensuke had been a laborer once, a man who moved earth and steel. Now he was a monument to Takeda's obsession: The Submissive . The piece was almost complete—a life-sized figure of a man bound not by rope, but by the invisible chains of another's will. Takeda had molded Kensuke's body in plaster, then cast it in iron.

Tagame's journey into the world of erotic art began early. He discovered his interest in BDSM before he even realized he was gay, drawing inspiration from novels by the Marquis de Sade and underground BDSM manga zines.
