Rope Bondage & Shibari Artists
Shibari is a Japanese rope art that uses natural fibre rope to create patterns on the body through ties. Suspending the body in the air with rope is also very popular. While it sits within the broader world of kink and fetish, shibari is about much more than restraint alone. It brings together skill and connection, with a strong emphasis on trust and presence between the person tying and the person being tied.
A rope bunny is someone the person being tied in a shibari session. This can involve physical sensation, stillness, trust or the emotional experience of surrendering control. Being a rope bunny does not require any prior experience or specific role. Many people explore shibari as a rope bunny out of curiosity, artistic interest or a desire for connection rather than pain or intensity.
Shibari is a Japanese rope art that places emphasis on aesthetics, intention and connection, rather than restraint alone. While standard bondage often focuses on immobilisation, shibari pays close attention to rope patterns, body positioning, breath and the more subtle and sensual dynamic between the person tying and the person being tied. It is often described as a form of communication or creative practice, and can be expressive and meditative as well as physical.
While the concept of ropes tied against your skin might seem uncomfortable, many Shibari enthusiasts find the physical restraint freeing for the mind and soul. Sensation varies depending on the style, rope technique and what has been agreed in advance. Some forms of shibari are gentle and slow, focusing on comfort, stillness or visual beauty, while others may include more intense sensations. When practised with a trained practitioner, shibari is approached with clear consent and attention to the body, so discomfort can be communicated and adjusted at any point.
