More about Ichinawa Kai

Ichinawa-kai is a shibari classroom established and run by Hajime Kinoko since 2004.

We propose group lessons, private lessons and rope salons for people interested in kinbaku. Please feel free to contact and join us.

* Like car driving, kinbaku involves risks which can never be reduced to zero. In order to reduce these risks as much as possible, Ichinawa-kai puts safety first and continuously seeks improvement. Please participate in the classroom and private lessons while keeping that in mind.
