Shibari or Kinbaku is the art of Japanese Bondage. It is a fundamental theme in Japanese eroticism and is featured in much of the culture’s porn both past and present frequently focusing on domination and submission. In the world of Japanese Idol DVDs extreme Bondage play is a mainstay in most all productions.

The ideology of Shibari varies somewhat with Western ideas of Bondage. In Shibari the sensual effect of ropes tied to the body is vital, the Nawashi ( One Who Uses Rope ) will often use asymmetric patterns and designs to accentuate the visual impact. Also, Shibari puts intense focus on the sensations of the Jujun ( One Who Submits To The Rope ) and the ropes are strategically used to arouse and pleasure the person being bound which usually always happens to be a beautiful Japanese girl.

Most cultures outside of Japan are quite surprised at the willingness of beautiful Japanese women to be tired up and do find it extremely erotic. Specialists in the art of Shibari will say that humiliation and submission will free a woman’s inhibitions although this explanation would not convince anybody that really disapproved of the practice. At the very least these adventurous sexual escapades can relinquish the stress in the rather mundane lives led by many Japanese.

The presentation of the person in Bondage is important particularly in Japanese Bondage so that it distinguishes the specific use of Katas meaning forms and aesthetics. Most times asymmetric positions are employed intentionally to be uncomfortable so that it will heighten the psychological impact of the person bound. In Japanese Bondage it is more about the way the ropes are applied and erotic pleasure that the woman gets from being restrained. The ropes actually become an extension of the Bondage Master’s hands and is used to transfer sexual pleasure.

In traditional Japanese Bondage techniques the use of natural rope fibers like hemp, jute or linen are exclusive, although some contemporary Masters have used synthetic rope fiber. With natural fibers they easily lock together which means the binds can be held together by the friction of the twists or even simple knots.

Japanese Bondage has it’s origins from Hojojitsu or medieval restraint techniques. In addition the samurai who usually showed great respect for their captives, were experts in their ability to restrain their enemies safely and securely.

The art of Bondage became a bit more brutal during the Tokugawa era when binding techniques were used as punishment for different offenses. Once a person was restrained several options were used to inflict pain, whipping, stoning, constriction and hanging in mid-air. These types of torture did survive but in less extreme forms know today as Japanese S & M.
