The ancient ritualistic art form of Shibari (Japanese Rope Art) first sparked the curiosity and fascination of the western fetish community, during the early stages of the Internet. Beautiful Japanese girls embraced and rendered immobile, by an intricate pattern of natural hemp rope (Asanawa) over their exposed and vulnerable bodies. The art of Shibari evolved from the centuries old practice by Japanese warriors, to effectively confine and torment their prisoners. Modern day Shibari still employs many of these same ancient rope tying techniques. As an art form, Shibari remains methodical, deliberate, and true to it’s origin. Although many of today’s practitioners incorporate a minor element of “torture” such as Shizuku (candle droppings) to the slave training session, the goal is to produce the perfect combination of both pain and pleasure through erotic stimulation. The asanawa and submissive ultimately become one work of living art. Many Shibari masters complete their masterpiece, by placing a patterned piece of fabric into and over the mouth of their submissive prior to forcing the slave to apex. The gag (megumi) serves as both a symbol of the Shibari ritual’s finale and the artist’s decoration of his completed work.
