Shibari VIII

Definition - What does Shibari mean?

Shibari is a traditional form of artistic rope bondage that originated in Japan. The word Shibari literally translates as "to tie." Thin pieces of rope are used to create the intricate geometric patterns and shapes which characterize this beautiful and sensual art form Shibari.

Shibari developed from the ancient martial art of Hojo-Jutsu which the police and Samurai used to restrain prisoners from 1400 to 1700. In the late 1800s, a new erotic form of Hojo-Jutsu, dubbed Kinbaku, became popular. Kinbaku means "tight binding." More recently, the term Shibari has become a common term throughout the world to describe the intricate rope bondage practiced in BDSM play. Many people use the terms interchangeably although some suggest that Shibari refers specifically to the aesthetic rope bondage while Kinbaku describes the sexual experience as a whole.

Shibari is also commonly called Japanese rope bondage.
A Shibari session can be thought of as a power exchange that develops through the use of ropes. The person who ties, commonly known as the rigger, restrains his or her partner, known as the model, according to the emotional and physical reactions observed.

Shibari devotees enjoy the way that the elaborate rope designs and the material's rugged texture contrast with smooth skin and its simple curves. Some have likened the model to a canvas, and the rigger to an artist who uses rope instead of a brush and paint.

Shibari ropes and knots are also strategically positioned to stimulate the body's pressure points, almost like a Shiatsu massage. The model typically derives pleasure from ties across their breasts, genitals, and other erogenous zones. In some cases, the model is also stimulated by whipping or beating tools. Shibari is often used in conjunction with suspension bondage. Shibari sessions often involve intercourse, but this isn't always the case.

Traditionalists believe the practice of Shibari can stimulate Ki energy flow and transfer. It’s also possible for the model to enter a trance-like state as their endorphins and other hormone levels increase. The term "rope drunk" has been used to describe the state of a model recovering from a Shibari session

Good post, M. Very informative and concise. Some Japanese police still use ropes to bind prisoners, at least they did in the case of the guy who had burgled my house in Kyushu when they dragged him by to show me they'd caught him.

I still try to keep my hand in, or at least I did before my world was disrupted. Even then, however, I found I hadn't retained the skill or have the patience for the kinds of patterns I most admire.

Back in the 90s my driver in Japan loved going to the Shibari and bondage clubs, made for some very interesting and fun evenings.

I love looking at Shibari, but my taste for actually placing my slave in bondage runs more toward minimalist. It's how I started as a teen, then it was reinforced by the H.O.M. Bondage magazines in the 80s.
Did you know, Shibari blossomed from the ancient Japanese military system of honor, that required prisoners to be bound, but not to dishonor them by using knots? The intricate rope work, and honor, kept the prisoners restrained without the knots.

I simply love the light sepia photo where her eyes are focused downward in front of her and the fellow stands behind her applying his handiwork. I just wonder what is going on in her mind. I really love it.

Very sexy and interesting. Like the processing on the photos I've been experimenting with similar dark renditions. They might also look stunning in High Key.

The intricacies and beauty of the rope designs in these photos are amazing. One wonders how long it took to create some of them.

I've only been to one such democstartion while visiting San Francisco a few years ago. It did involve suspension and was quite informative.

thanks again for another informative blog. have a great day
