Educator and writer on SM, fetish and human sexuality, Midori has traveled the world presenting to universities, the SM community, media, and the greater society. Born in Japan and raised in a feminist intellectual Tokyo household, she enlisted and was subsequently commissioned as a US Army Reserves Intelligence officer while earning her psychology degree from University of California, Berkeley. Active exploration and participation in the SM/Leather/Fetish communities combine with numerous years as a sex educator with San Francisco Sex Information complete the dynamic blend of experiences that give her such breadth and depth of knowledge in human erotic expression.

Her bestselling book "The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage" was released last year, and now Midori follows that up with BeautyBound.com. This new website features her intricate and beautiful bondage as photographed by veteran beauty photographer Michael Blue. Other collaborators such as Craig Morey, Chuck Stevens, Steve Diet Goedde, James and James, Rob Nay, James Mogul, and Steven Speliotis also adorn the site.
