Shibari Japanese–English glossary: standardised terminology with Japanese script
Some terms require registration to read. Check the enrollment terms in the footer.
Shibari uses Japanese terminology, and for those who do not speak the language this creates a double barrier: the meaning of each concept and its writing. On top of that, each author romanises Japanese in their own way, so the same concept appears spelled in different ways depending on the source.
This glossary gathers the terms specific to the Sekibaku (責縛) style, which help to better understand the meaning of its techniques and concepts. We write them as they are pronounced: without macrons or signs foreign to our alphabet, with long vowels simplified and always keeping the original kanji as a reference.
