The word 'Shibari' came into common use in the West at some point in the 1990's to describe the Japanese bondage art 'Kinbaku'.
There seems to be a lot of confusion on what is and isn’t shibari and what the differences between the two really are.
Shibari is a Japanese word that broadly means "binding" or "tying" in most contexts, but is used in BDSM to refer to this style of intricate, decorative bondage.
For me as an artist, it is purely an interesting visualisation. A way to portray flesh and limbs at unnatural angles and to provoke discussion on female sexuality and compliance through the ages.
