Kitan Club (奇譚クラブ; lit. "Strange Story Club") was a Japanese post-war monthly pulp magazine that published from 1947 to 1975.[1] From 1952 onward, it published articles, drawings and photographs on sadomasochistic themes, including images of Japanese bondage. The magazine's depiction of bondage was a factor in the popularization of Japanese bondage during the 1950s.[2]

The artist Minomura Kou, also known as Kita Reiko, was one of the editors of the magazine responsible for the reframing of the magazine as a fetish publication.[3][4]

The fetish artist Namio Harukawa was a contributor to the magazine, which published some of his earliest work.[5] The magazine also published the art of the American artist John Willie.[6]
