Rare copy of SUN & MOON, Issue No. 5, offering a glimpse into the emergent Japanese kinbaku scene of the late 1970s. Like other niche publications of the era, it used the letters “S” and “M” in an understated title to signal its risqué content.

Edited by former Kitan Club and SM Select contributor Kaiichi Seda, this original incarnation ran from March to December 1977 and was strictly limited to six issues, before being acquired by Tsukasa Shobo and rebranded as Sun and Moon in 1978.
