Over the years, numerous rope lovers from around the world have benefited from private tuition at the Osada-ryu HQ Studios in Tokyo.
While on the surface, shibari/kinbaku may appear an awfully complicated craft, the individual techniques can actually be broken down into distinct building blocks.
To this end, students are essentially taught Osada-ryu; hands-on tying techniques drawn from established kinbaku dynasties. Individual coaching in Yukimura-ryu is also available.
NEW: Study online at the Kinbaku Academy tutorial website.
