KINBAKU' series
Kinbaku, meaning tight binding, is a type of Japanese bondage, appreciated for both its aesthetic and sexual appeal. The technique has its roots in the feudal Edo Era, but was not a sexualized art form until the twentieth century.
Kinbaku uses rope to decoratively tie and restrain the body for the purpose of erotic pleasure. Seasoned kinbaku masters or bakushi say the art takes years to master and is difficult to spot in the world of mass produced pornography today. Only in the West, the term shibari, which doesn’t refer to any specific type of tying in Japan, is used interchangeably with kinbaku.
