The Soul of the Rope – Shibari with Natural Fiber Ropes
In Shibari, it’s not just about technique – it’s about connection. Natural fiber ropes like jute or hemp carry a unique energy: they’re raw and pure, warm and alive. Every strand tells a story, every touch deepens the bond between people.
A jute rope doesn’t just wrap around the skin – it speaks to it. It offers resistance, texture, and support without overpowering. It demands mindfulness and gives trust in return. For many, it’s more than a tool – it’s a ritual, a symbol of respect and intimacy.
Choosing natural fiber ropes means choosing sustainability, tradition, and emotional depth.
A rope that doesn’t just hold – it touches.
Shibari – The Art of Connection with History
Shibari is an art that goes far beyond tying. Its roots reach deep into Japanese history – back to the time of the Samurai, when the technique of Hojōjutsu was used to capture and publicly shame prisoners. This martial rope art was strict, functional, and often painful – a tool of control.
Over time, the meaning of rope began to shift. Artists like Itoh Seiyu in the early 20th century reimagined the powerful symbolism of binding – not as a method of domination, but as a medium for intimacy, trust, and aesthetic expression. From Hojōjutsu emerged Kinbaku – the “beautiful tight binding” – and later Shibari, now practiced worldwide as a sensual and artistic form.
Today, Shibari is a dance of rope and skin, of closeness and surrender. It’s a silent conversation between two people, carried by respect and mindfulness.
The ropes tell stories – of vulnerability, strength, and connection.

“After a great chat with the seller, I took the plunge – and I’m so glad I did.”
The 6mm Kiyomi rope is fantastic. No jbo means it’s completely odorless. It feels dense and substantial, with a medium-tight lay. After processing, there’s minimal shedding. Compared to my previous kit, this rope has thicker, more spun yarns – less fluff, less energy retention. I’m very happy.

FAQ's
Frequently asked questions about our ropes and our answers.
How should I store my jute ropes for bondage?
- Store your ropes at room temperature and keep them away from excessive heat, light (direct sunlight) and moisture.
- Twisted jute ropes have positional memory. Therefore, do not store your ropes in tightly wound bundles for long periods of time. It is better to place them loosely rolled up in an air-permeable box with a lid and additional ventilation slots. A shoebox comes in handy here.
- Do not store your ropes in a plastic bag or container as the ropes may sweat when exposed to heat.
- Alternatively, you can store your ropes, following our Japanese models, hanging over a rod, such as a curtain rod, which is mounted on the wall at a height of approx. 2.20m. This allows your ropes to rest in a naturally ventilated environment.
My ropes are dirty. How can I clean them?
Here's how it works:
- Pour cheap sake into a high-sided pan. Note that sake already boils at ~78°C! Just before the sake begins to boil, turn the temperature down to minimum and let it simmer.
- Put the dirty rope in the pan. Make sure the rope is completely covered with liquid and put the lid on the pan, since sake evaporates faster than water.
- Move the rope back and forth every few minutes. Most stains disappear within 15 minutes.
Hang to air dry naturally with at least the following tension to bring the rope back to equilibrium:
- ø6mm 980g per metre rope
- ø5.5mm 900g per metre rope
- ø5.0mm 800g per metre rope
It may be necessary that you need to o re-oil your rope after this treatment.
We recommend using Jojoba oil for this.
