At the time of writing, there is only one place left on the series starting 14 April and seven for the classes starting 9 April. The classes have only been very selectively marketed so far, so if you are still thinking about it, you should not delay. They will sell out before long. All prices …
I am always a sucker for pictures of beautiful tattooed Japanese girls in rope, so this guy’s work caught my eye. Tr@sh, with typical Japanese modesty, hasn’t given me much information about his work, but he has kindly allowed me to publish a series of kinbaku photos taken at “Elfen Lied”, an SM bar in …
I have to say I think the design of this MA1 jacket by Phenomenon owes more to hojojutsu than shibari (original blog post />) but, either way, it can’t be denied that it is a statement. What that statement is I will leave you to decide. Anyway, guaranteed ice-breaker at parties but maybe not ideal …
If 5 days of intensive training with Osada Steve appeals, you had better be quick as the first course for 14-20 April sold out in 24 hours! Assuming you haven’t been living under a rock or totally disinterested in kinbaku, he will need no introduction. If the former, you can find out more on his …
Sometimes one stumbles across hidden gems in the most unlikely places. In this case, a student directed me to video showing a “takate kote” to ask my opionion. What I found was a Japanese fusion box tie that gave a mere nod to a t-k. However, upon looking up the URL, I came across a …

I recently came across a post on Fetlife entitled ‘Buyer Beware’ and noticed my name in the slug, so opened the thread with some trepidation thinking I might have an unhappy customer. What I found was far from that! It turned out to be somebody asking for feedback about my eBay shop who had had …
I have heard from Steve that he is planning to be in London 16-20 April to run some master classes. I hardly need to introduce him but if you want to know more take a look at his blog and web site. His classes are extremely popular so register your interest by letting me know …
I have recently been pointed to Fetbook, which is a new social networking site for kinksters. In fact, it bears some resemblance to Facebook and MySpace, so you won’t have any problem finding your way around. Quite a few of us have fallen foul of the Facebook or MySpace Police, who seem to think that …
People are keen to see more than the free public content and have been asking about full member access. It is not available yet but it should only be a few more days. Meanwhile, I have been busy loading content: videos from Toubaku, the last two year’s London Festival of the Art of Japanese Rope …
