Shibari practitioner living in Barcelona, focused on aibunawa and Naka-inspired semenawa.
From time to time, Alice and I still enjoy exploring the more physical torment area of the kinbaku landscape, such as during this delicious session during the last day of #eurix27.

Defiance, vulnerability, tenderness and acceptance, all in one gaze. Runa carries so much potency in her expressions.

From a while ago...

Tying Akane-san a few days ago, in a humbling class with Murasaki-san. I've been studying Yukimura-ryu for three or four years at this point, and realized in the last few days that I knew very little about how to effectively use nawajiri. Now I know a bit more.

Tying with amazing Iroha-san in a private class with Murasaki-san. Focusing on improving my understanding of how to use nawajiri to move a partner in ropes, both physically and emotionally.

Cath & me, captured by A. during day 2 of photography workshop with Sugiura Norio in Tokyo. What an experience, to be directed and photographed by Sugiura-sensei!

Thanks to Fede & Marta from Yügen Studio for asking me to be a part of this fantastic event. And to dearest Cath for sharing it with me.

Our ryokan doesn't have any exposed hashira or beams, but that didn't stop me and Oki from taking advantage of the setting.
