JUST ANNOUNCED: #Shibari performance with @kinoko_shibari at The Brooklyn Monarch 12.15 👠 Shibari is an ancient form of artistic Japanese rope bondage. "It's a modern practice that involves tying people with rope, It's evolved into many different branches and practices and has become something that people can use for artistic expression and self-care." Hajime Kinoko (he/him) took up rope for the first time in 2001, because his then-girlfriend was interested in rope. When the rope master Akechi Denki held a workshop at the club he was working at, Kinoko really learned the meaning of tying people. In 2018, most of the techniques Kinoko has been teaching are based on Kanna’s method whom he refers to as his former teacher to express his gratitude for using his method for 10 years. Tickets go On-Sale, Thursday 9.22 at 10am EST at Mean.Red (LinkinBio)
