Japanese call me Bakushi. What does this mean? Baku (縛) restraint is my motivation. Rope is the versatile medium to provide this.
Tying since 1984, in 2000 I was introduced to the underground scene in Japan. Initially absorbing in SM bars, happening clubs and pink theatres, I took instruction from a diverse variety of approaches, including Shigonawabingo, Yukimura Haruki, Jubei Kamui, Harutokyou, and worked with Aotsuki Nagare, Yoi Yoshida, Kazami Ranki, Kasumi Hourai, Kinoko Hajime, Akira Naka, Etc.
I’m closely associated with Ero Ouji, evolving the Kannōnawa style together.
I’ve performed at pink theatres, Onawa Asobi 2015, 2016, and 2020, and since 2013 spontaneous live Kinbaku sessions on the discreet international private circuit.
I exclusively use KOUMANAWA jute rope.
