"Shibari is an ancestral Japanese art that consists of tying and hanging people, usually naked, with a rope. This practice is often considered a fetish, especially outside Japan. However, for rope handling specialist Kinoko Hajime, shibari is an art form in its own right. He sees shibari as an artistic and spiritual practice where the man communicates with his model, whether it is a young naked woman or a hundred-year-old tree."

About Shibari
In Japanese, the word "shibari" simply means "to tie". The contemporary meaning of the word describes an art form of Japanese rope bondage. Originating from the ancient martial art, Hojojutsu, and the turn-of-the-century torture artist, Shunga by Seiu Ito, Shibari was popularized in Japanese erotic magazines of the 1950s. Now it is a form of aesthetic bondage practiced worldwide also described as Kinbaku.
Traditionally, 8 m lengths of natural fiber rope are used, with a diameter of 5-6 mm. Geometric patterns are tied with rope that contrasts beautifully with the natural curves of the human body. The knotting experience is always a collaboration between rigger and model - the result of which can explore notions of visual beauty, sexuality, power exchange, relaxation and challenges to the body.
Shibari Schools
In a few decades, techniques and knowledge have been perfected around schools and have allowed the democratization of a safer rope practice.
