The traditional Japanese art of erotic rope bondage, closely related to shibari and emphasising emotional connection.

Kinbaku is the traditional Japanese practice of erotic rope bondage, with shibari often used as a near synonym in the West. The word translates roughly as tight binding, and the art places particular weight on the emotional and energetic connection between the person tying and the person tied. Kinbaku has deep cultural roots and a refined aesthetic. Practitioners study technique carefully, both for the artistry and for the safety it demands.
