INSTRUCTOR BIO:
Meet Ota Kinbaku, a dynamic photographer and rope artisan hailing from the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. Ota's journey into the world of Japanese rope bondage began as an exploration of its captivating aesthetics. In 2015, Ota embarked on a transformative adventure, taking lessons in Japan alongside luminaries like Naka Akira and other esteemed bakushi. This immersive experience unveiled the spiritual essence of rope, unveiling its diverse array of styles.
Fast forward to today, Shibari has become Ota's profound means of cultivating empathy and embracing the art of being present in the moment.
Included Materials
