Kinbaku (緊縛) is a Japanese style of BDSM Rope Bondage. Rope is used to bind (tie) a person in a way which enhances connection, encourages submission, and emphasizes beauty. Shibari is the Japanese word for tying or binding something. You can shibari your shoes. Shibari a bunch of flowers or a package. It simply means to tie. As applied to bondage, Shibari can be considered to be the pattern or method of tying. Kinbaku is a bit more complicated. The definition we still see tossed about, and not entirely correct, is “tight binding”. More appropriate in English would be “to restrain”. The primary difference – one can tie (shibari) their shoes, but can you restrain (kinbaku) them? Japanese Kinbaku is more than just the rope or the patterns. It is a Conversation of Dominant and submissive Connection between the Top (person tying) and bottom (person being tied). Body, Mind, and Emotion. Displaying and enhancing the beauty of the person being tied. And always with a focus on the connective energy (“Ki” 気), deepening the relationship, the bond between Top and bottom. Kinbaku is Connective, Sensual, and Sexual. It can also be Artistic, Soothing, Stimulating, and Tormenting/Punishing (Semenawa). KinbakuNM offers:
