Different Shibari Styles

  • Shibari can be practiced anywhere. Indoors or outdoors.
  • There are different styles from sensual, erotic, visually creative to sadistic.
  • It is very important to know the basics of shibari well. Come to our workshops for this.
  • Come to our jam and tie in our studio.
  • Our shibari venue and lounge is very cozy

  • Kinbaku (緊縛) means “tight binding”, while Kinbaku-bi (緊縛美) literally means “the beauty of tight binding”.

  • Kinbaku is a Japanese style of bondage or BDSM which involves tying a person up using simple yet visually intricate patterns.

  • Kinbaku is based on fairly specific rope patterns, many of them derived from Hojojutsu ties though significantly modified to make them safer for bondage use.

  • Many Hojojutsu ties were deliberately designed to cause harm to a prisoner and are therefore not suitable for erotic bondage.

  • Of particular importance are the Ushiro Takatekote (a type of box tie which surrounds the chest and arms), which forms the basis of many Kinbaku ties.

  • Shibari and Kinbaku focuses on the aesthetics and display of the body. As a result, and due to the manipulation of body parts using rope to achieve this it is common, though not always required, for models or participants to be fully naked and the art form regularly incorporates aspects of BDSM such as erotic humiliation. It may be used for restraint as well as solely being a visual.

  • Kinbaku-bi literally means “the beauty of tight binding”.

  • Kinbaku is a Japanese style of bondage or BDSM which involves tying a person up using simple yet visually intricate patterns, usually with several pieces of thin rope. In Japanese this natural-fibre rope is known as asanawa.

  • Semenawa is an intense form of shibari. It is usually seen as sadistic, painful, intense and heavy.

  • Through a deep connection between model and rigger and cunsensual torture and suffering, you enter into a world of contradictory redemption.

  • The surrender of both model and rigger and the emotional return of both fuel the actions to the next level.

  • The way of rigging, the right intentions, the way you place the rope and how you shape, transform and limit the body through rope, tension, torsions and body handling zijn typisch voor Semenawa.

  • Today the ebi-tie is used as part of BDSM play and can be considered a form of Semenawa, rope torture.

  • Sensual shibari is a way of connecting, communicating and emoting.

  • It is a reasonably simple technique of knotting but it requires the right intentions of the rigger to communicate with the model.

  • Both the rigger and the model should be able to communicate well through actions, expressions, sound, movements, etc.

  • In a sensual shibari session, like Karada Ki and Tantra shibari, you can clear your head and immerse yourself in emotions, feelings, intimacy and sensuality.

  • Get out of your comfort zone and open yourself up to new experiences.

  • The connection between the rigger and the model is intimate and intense.

  • Strong communication with your body, mind, rope and other elements bring you into a kind of subspace, an ecstasy that you experience together in the session.

  • Yukimura-Ryū, developed by Yukimura Haruki, is a unique approach to Shibari.

  • The focus is on communication and awakening the partner’s erotic nature.

  • It is a very minimalist approach with simple ties

  • It emphasis on the psychological impact on the model

  • Use of rope ends (nawajiri) to create emotions

  • There is a focus on creating a sense of embarrassment (hazukashii)

  • Yukimura viewed rope bondage as a game of discovering and engaging with a partner’s desires.

  • This style is not about complex patterns but more about creating an intimate, emotionally charged experience.

  • Performance-based shibari has become more popular in recent years.

  • This technique was developed to allow the audience to experience such a beautiful and intense moment.

  • It is a combination of complex figures and tying knots, emotions, sometimes acrobatic transitions and spectacular transitions.

  • It is mainly used for performances, shows, photo shoots, videos and more

  • Visual (or decorative) shibari is about the visual aspects of the shapes of the body and the ropes.

  • This style is mainly for artistic purposes or the rigger’s own visual pleasure.

  • The visual is usually more important than the practical.

  • But for some riggers, it is just their challenge to visually create a very nice whole that also gives enough pleasure to the model.
