It also affects the impression on people who see Kinbaku performances because I think it draws out the personality of the person involved. However, the meaning and purpose of Kinbaku will change depending on the person who will tie and who will be tied. LO: In kinbaku, pleasure is said to be more so in the journey than in the destination – Aimi, do you think this is true? What have you felt or realised as result of this practice?Ī: Yes, I think so too. I hope people remember the importance of human connection while they look at my work.
We should take a moment to think about genuine ties and communication with others. People communicate in a virtual world, like on social media, and don’t communicate in a real world. Today, we live in a convenient world filled with the internet. It makes no sense that I do not have an emotional connection with a model, and even the shape of Shibari is beautiful. HK: I want to tell people about the connection that I have with a model while performing. LO: You say it is a means of communication between two people, it seems that our current methods of communication have changed so drastically, what with the use of social media, texting and simply living in the digital era. I believe strong beauty and morality is necessary when I let people know about the beauty of Shibari and I want to show that through my performance. However, Shibari is very beautiful and wonderful because people can learn to build a loving relationship through it.
HK: People think Shibari is just an abnormal play in Japan and it’s discriminated against from Japanese media and in public places. LO: It seems that Western culture has become infused with and fascinated by Asian cultures but doesn’t necessarily fully understand them yet, you mentioned in a previous interview that you wanted to spread this philosophy and transform opinion, what is the opinion of Asian culture/kinbaku that society currently has and what would you like to guide it towards being? Yet, in understanding the model’s feelings and tying her with love and care, a stronger strength emerges, of trust. In contrast, the model who is bound is controlled by him or her, so there is fear and an uneasiness. I think it occurs as power to the person who ties, in the sense of control. HK: Shibari restricts movement of your opponent. Lindsey: The rope is unmistakably a symbol of power and historically, the practice was used to restrain prisoners. My first encounter to Shibari as an art was seeing a picture of Hajime Kinoko performing that showed on my twitter. For me, “home” means the place or a person I feel comfortable staying with.

My first encounter to Shibari as an art was twenty years ago when I pursued how to make women beautiful with Shibari, and people started to say my work was an art.Īimi : I was born and grew up in a town which is urbanised, but I was still able to get in touch with nature. Maybe it was my destiny to be into the world of Shibari. Hajime Kinoko : I was born in a town named Shibatta, which means “tied” and grew up in a town named “Nawa” which means “rope,” in Japanese. Lindsey: Can you both talk a little bit about your backgrounds? Where did you grow up and what does ‘home’ mean to you? How did you find the art of kinbaku?
