Originating from the land of the rising sun, Shibari is a Japanese practice that derives from Hojo-Jutsu, the martial art of restraining prisoners with knots. During the Medieval and Early-Modern periods, Samurai warriors used a variety of tying techniques to restrain their captives, depending on their honor and status.
Today, this practice has developed into a popular form of meditation and pleasure craft. Are you tempted to experience the relaxing sensations of Japanese rope bondage? Want to give Shibari a try?
What is the difference between Shibari and western bondage play?
Shibari, although often linked to western bondage play, differs in several ways. Firstly, it puts more emphasis on building aesthetic still images, than restricting your partner. This technique has become a sensual way to deepen the relationship between two people and explore new erotic sensations.
Typical bondage, unlike Shibari, can involve different restraints to limit physical movements, such as handcuffs, ribbons, and ties. Shibari, on the other hand, is a contemporary form of bondage that is carried out exclusively with rope. It focuses on building an intimate, emotional bond and sense of excitement between partners. Shibari literally translates to “to tie” or “to bind”. This Japanese practice creates intricate, yet beautifully intriguing knots and patterns with rope.
