Erotic shibari style based on personal responsibility.
  • 1.1.2 What is eroticism?

  • 5.5.1 The Sekibaku itinerary

    The itinerary of Sekibaku (責縛), its roadmap of desire, is the backbone of erotic application in this style. This model sets out a logical sequence designed to help the person being tied explore their desire.

  • 5.5.2 The cycle of desire

    Applying the Sekibaku (責縛) itinerary means establishing a cycle of desire and applying it at every step, in every movement, and not to the session as a whole: the person tying manages the desire of the person being tied by increasing it, not satisfying it, and starts again over and over.

    Sekibaku is the shibari style created by Yagami Ren and developed independently at Shibari Dojo.

  • Taijutsu (體術): body mechanics

    The study of the techniques that allow us to understand and use the body during shibari is the second technical area of Sekibaku and, without doubt, the most demanding for students.
