We have invited one of the best riggers in Australia to host the ongoing Shibari installation at the festival. There will be the opportunity to experience lustful and/or painful bondage.

Whether in the air or on the ground.

Since my first uneducated forays into rope and kink in general around 1992 I have worked to develop my craft with teachers including Osada Steve, Arisue Go, Nawashi Kanna, Hajime Kinoko, Avalon, Satomi and Lukas Zpira and my late sensei, Yukimura Haruki. As a part of my studies and my passion for Japanese rope I have spent travelled to Japan three to four times a year since 2011 to study and enjoy the beauty and culture.

So many people have helped me to grow in my understanding of rope, body mod and play, teachers, friends and partners. This work is my attempt to give some of that back to the community as I have been so lucky to receive. Hebari Haru Isamu
