The Kinbaku Salon
The Kinbaku Salon is an invitation.
It is for everyone curious about the origins and history of Japanese bondage—Kinbaku or Shibari—for those who love underground arts and culture, and for anyone who wants to socialize in an inspiring environment. The Salon is an interactive space that weaves together multimedia, talks, images, and video. It opens the door to education, exchange, and entertainment.
Keynotes · Videos · Performance · Q&A · Fine electronic music · Art on the walls
No pre-sales, no reservations, no dress code—come just as you are.
