Two in the Pinku

As devout believers of Nikkatsu's BDSM, we cover New Wave Video's Blu-ray release for Nun in Rope Hell (1984). We honor its star, the 3rd "SM Queen" Miki Takakura, and its writer Oniroku Dan. We then jump years later, covering Sachi Hamano gyrating classic, Big Tit Monastery (1995), to ask for forgiveness. Will we heal?
