(New column) Melbourne Rope Dojo – Scott’s shibari world
1. Welcome to the “SHIBARI” world
Shibari (or kinbaku) is the Japanese art of tying people in a way that gives a good feeling whilst being aesthetically beautiful.
There are many reasons why people do shibari. These include:
– doing suspensions for aerial performances
– tying purely for the aesthetic beauty of a tie
– using rope as a means of communication between partners
