Kinbaku (緊縛) means “tight binding, and it is used as a synonym for erotic bondage. Often the term Shibari (縛り) is used interchangeably. We use „Kinbaku“ for our rope work, as we like to emphasize the eroticism and the commitment the two partners make to each other when entering a Kinbaku scene.

We gave our hearts to Semenawa as taught in Europe by Riccardo Wildties, the first disciple (Deshi) of Akira Naka. Alexander is the first official certified instructor for Kinbaku Luxuria Naka Ryu Basic Level (Zero to TK) in Germany. We found our home in that family of like-minded human beings, all dedicated to the spirit of Kinbaku.

The Berlin Kinbaku Society is a forum for a group of enthusiastic and creative people interested to study Kinbaku and the sublime beauty of eroticism connected to it. We came together with a longing for real, tangible, in-person collaboration and exploration of Japanese rope bondage.
