Get enough rope so you can reach your full potential. Get enough rope so that your partners can experience how amazing you are. name Essence of Shibari: Kinbaku and Japanese Rope Bondage – because at the end of the day it is this essence that is being conveyed. I hope this book may guide its readers to practice the basics of kinbaku, help newcomers to get started, and enrich the experience of established enthusiasts. Ever since shibari has become popular, much of its exploration has been ongoing without an end in sight. Old knowledge is being challenged, new theories are being discussed, and novel techniques are being developed. In this book I will strive to introduce the new knowledge and skills that I have learned, along with my personal understanding of kinbaku. Ideally it will be of some help to the readers that want to study kinbaku, encouraging more people to start to practice and play. As more fellow kinksters learn from each other, their skills will surely improve faster. As more of these kinksters play with rope at various venues, the wider public may see what they do and become interested. Even if those interested observers do not start playing with rope themselves, they may still develop a capacity to appreciate and enjoy rope scenes. In this way, our kinbaku circles will only get bigger, leading to more possibilities for good things to happen in the future. Shin Nawakiri

other’s feelings, such that the nawashi feels the pain suffered by the model and is filled with gratitude, while the model in turn feels that all the pain is worth it. Thus the two appreciate what they are striving to achieve. Working together in a seamless way to arrive at the moment when the two hearts connect – this is more precious than anything. All this is not that hard to understand; a couple that practices intensely as dance partners will be able to share the same experience. The only difference is that in kinbaku, the bakushi and the model are involving themselves in a more extreme challenge. Learning shibari is a journey where both people grow together. Books, the internet, and kinbaku teachers can only set you upon your own path of learning. The one that will teach you the most is still your partner. I hope that you, the kinbaku practitioners will treasure your partners, and always hold gratitude to them; for they are spending their time to teach us with their bodies. Although not all readers will dig into kinbaku topics of the most difficult levels, I hope that your journey of growth is one that is worth your effort.

I remember being a beginner. I had so many questions: How do I learn to tie? What rope should I get? How much rope? How long?There are only a few techniques used in kinbaku, but these basic ties each require memorizing the way the rope moves. In addition, a student will need to learn how to apply force when tying, and become comfortable with the rope in their hand. Kinbaku students will inevitably get caught up in the techniques and become lost. Paying too much attention to the techniques leads to neglecting your partner – effectively “seeing later, he would, under the nom de guerre of Ito Seiu, become a kinbaku painter, photographer, and research investigator. He published the first photo-book of kinbaku in Japan named “Seme no Kenkyu” [Study of Torture] in 1928, and organized theater shows. Eventually, he became recognized as the father of modern Japanese kinbaku. “Gion Sairei Shinkou Ki” [Tale of the Gion Festival] Snow Maiden as acted by Nakamura Jakuemon IV. November, 1997. National Theater. It is worth noticing that “Seme no Kenkyu” is a study of torture. The terms “sadism” and “masochism” only became widely used in Japan in the 1950s. The term BDSM – acronym for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism – was only invented in the West in the 1980s. It stands to reason that, before these terms became widely known there, the Japanese interpretation of BDSM was based on torture. This is “beauty in suffering” that is deep-rooted in Japanese style esthetics, depicting a release of emotion in a poignant and cruel context. It is a tradition that is different from the BDSM culture in the West. Kinbaku is one of the various torture methods. Tying up someone not only prevents escape, but can also be used for humiliation and torment. Suspending, pulling, or contorting the body and muscles can all cause pain and suffering. Nowadays, there are those that take the words too literally, and classify kinbaku under bondage and discipline of BDSM. In fact, the two practices have different threads of thought, and are difficult to discuss under the same framework. The postwar ’50s and ’60s is the heyday of the magazine Kitan Club [Club of Strange Tales]. This magazine often used sex, torture, abuse, and exotic customs as its main themes, with occasional detective stories or even science fiction. It subtly pointed to some alternative styles of taste and preference, but is difficult to classify and generalize according to today’s rigid approach. From today’s point of view, this magazine can be regarded as a precious historical representative of the formative period of Japanese SM culture. In addition, Kitan Club also acted as a promoter of kinbaku culture.
