  "kinbaku, “tight binding”, is a japanese style of bondage which involves tying up the bottom using simple, yet visually intricate, patterns and several pieces of rope, usually made of hemp or jute. in shinto religion, in order to make something sacred, a man ties a rope around it. this sacred quality of tying can also be applied to kinbaku, which is an erotic, spiritual and artistic connection between the people who do it. it started with the samurais capturing enemies on the battlefield 500 years ago. “rope is an extension of one´s arms and a communication tool. two people can really be close and have emotional exhange,” says rope master osada steve from tokyo. osada steve is a student of haruki yukimura, a rope master who has tied over 3000 people in his life. “if you look at the japanese samurai armor, it´s tied on. if you´ve ever received a japanese gift, it´s an exquisite thing,” says asagi ageha, the most popular star of the new generation. japan places a ritualistic weightness on everyday acts and talent our own culture lacks—and turns almost anything, including knots and ropes, into art. nowadays rope is used to create an artistic, meaningful scene between two people. kinbaku is about creating a beautiful climate and an exciting dramatic experience. —finnish film foundation"
