Late Show:

Shibari master Hajime Kinoko will present a 45 min signature solo show during his short-lived stay in Toronto!

Hajime Kinoko is a worldwide recognized rope artist known for his dynamic shibari performances and rope art installations. He leads the Ichinawakai rope group in Tokyo and has been featured in a documentary by Vice

Artist statement:

"For me, shibari is about “connection.”

When tying someone, it’s not about capturing or tying that person. I cherish the “connection” with the model the most. To me it feels like I am tying myself with the model like strings connecting two paper cups to make a paper toy telephone. When I tie someone with a strong feeling that the model is important, I can feel many things such as how they want to be tied with rope, at what timing and where. And I can tie depending on the models’ desires. The lines created when I tie that way are like waves that carve rocks and create cliffs. I create lines are like those created by nature, and only exist between the model and I. I feel those are wonderful and beautiful.

That is the shibari that I pursue.
