Kinbaku is the Japanese word for rope bondage: In the west it is often referred to as Shibari. Nawashi Murakawa, the Artistic Director of the annual London festival of the Art of Japanese Rope Bondage provides the historical context for the practice which goes back 12000 years. Although it originated in Japan as a means of restraint and torture, during the last hundred years it has also been used as an activity which gives emotional, physical, and visual pleasure for the participants.
This series of ten chapters demonstrates how the art of rope bondage has developed in the UK, Russia, Canada and the USA as well as presenting a modern day live performance in Tokyo. He also explains how Kinbaku has developed as a dramatic art form which is performed in front of audiences in many countries. The final section shows more traditional Japanese techniques.
