SUMMARY:Remembering Yukimura: 10th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:March 3rd marks the 10th Anniversary of the passing of Yukimura Haruki sensei.  On the 19th of February\, we will gather at LA Rope to celebrate his memory.  The event is free\, but an RSVP is required\, as space is limited.  Please do not RSVP unless you intend to come. \nThe evening will begin with a short presentation of Yukimura sensei’s life and work and the importance it holds in the history of shibari in Japan and a brief ceremony.  Following that\, we will view one of his videos\, from his LIVE series (approximately 60 mins).  After we will share snacks and refreshments and have time to talk and tie\, for those who wish to. \nI will also share a number of books from my personal collection that document his life and work in photography. \nThere will be a guestbook/memorial book that will be available to sign or comment any memories or good thoughts you have of sensei or his influence.  It will be presented in Japan to a group of Yukimura Ryu students and instructors and made part of the newly created archive documenting his life and work. \nEveryone is welcome\, whether you met or knew Yukimura sensei or if you are just curious about his work and legacy.

SUMMARY:Special Topics: Yukimura Stye Predicament Ties
DESCRIPTION:This is a class on crotch ropes/ties and neck rope (Matanawa\, 股縄\, Kubi Nawa\, 首縄).  One common technique in Yukimura’s style of shibari involves the concept of connection or linking (Renketsu\, 連結) different parts of the body together to emphasize eroticism and control. \nLike most Yukimura ties\, the constructions are basic and simple\, but the ties gain power from how they create a strong emotional and psychological effect. \nOne of the key techniques for doing that is connecting different parts of a tie together and two of the best places to do that are with crotch ropes and neck ties\, which have the effect of giving every movement an erotic charge or connection. \nThis class introduces both the philosophy and technique of “linking” to show how you can create simple ties with powerful effect\, with the basic constructions all being one rope ties. \nFor this class we will explore six different ties that show various methods for linking and connecting part of the body together. \nStudents must be comfortable with crotch ties (e.g. having rope between the legs)\, neck rope\, and engaging with erotic elements of shibari. \nThis is an intermediate level class and requires a basic understanding of wrists ties\, body positioning\, and effective communication between partners. \nStudents should come prepared with at least one 8m rope to be used for crotch ties or be prepared to purchase one at the dojo (rope is available for $20 per length for 5mm or 6mm rope). \n

SUMMARY:Building a Rope Scene: Rope\, Communication\, and Play
DESCRIPTION:Much shibari instruction focuses on technique or instruction\, usually limited to single ties or transitions between them. In this class\, we will walk through the basics of how to construct a rope scene from before the ropes go on to after they come off. \nOne of the most powerful aspects of kinbaku is the ability to create layers of intensity\, allowing the bottom to build up a natural flow of endorphins and adrenaline\, allowing the scene to reach deeper levels. We will discuss the process of building your scene\, bringing the various elements together\, and the psychology of a rope scene\, including connection\, communication\, distance\, and pacing. \nThe class is mainly lecture\, viewing and discussion.  There is 20-30 mins at the end of class to tie and try some of the things discussed in lecture. \nA great rope scene is more than the sum of its parts. Join us for a discussion of some of the tips and techniques that can help you think about connecting with your partner in new ways. \nThis class is suitable for all levels\, from beginner to advanced.  Knowing at least one basic tie will be helpful\, but is not required. \nCost: $25 per person\, in advance. No tickets at the door. If you are buying as a couple\, please order together as this event always sells out and we cannot admit over our capacity once class is full. \nTickets are for this event only and cannot be refunded once purchased.

SUMMARY:Online Class: Searching for the Heart of Kinbaku: A History of Japanese Rope and the People Who Created It
DESCRIPTION:Register Online at Voxbody\nThe history of kinbaku in Japan is a story that has been told many times. It has also been the site of conflict and struggle for grounding what kinbaku means today. Is it a noble and artistic pursuit following the glorious traditions of the ancient samurai? Is it dirty\, sexual\, hentai play that found its true expression in strip clubs and the Japanese adult video industry? Is it the product of kinky perverts trying to make a living doing bondage at the end of the Showa era as bondage magazines\, stage shows\, and VHS video started to become increasingly available? \nIn a way it is all of those things and more. Every story that is told about the history of kinbaku has something to teach us about what it is we do today. This presentation is not the history of Japanese rope\, but rather a history. In that sense it is much more personal reflection and interpretation rather than history per se. \nIt is also an invitation for everyone who attends to write their own history of kinbaku\, to find the stories that are meaningful and that resonate in a way that can give meaning to your own experience and practice and to imbue it with a richness that can make your connection to rope more meaningful and more personal. \nMy story is one of discovery. Starting with computer bulletin board systems in the 1980s\, where I saw my first images of kinbaku and which ultimately led me to Japan in 2006 to start my studies of kinbaku. Along the way\, I have amassed a collection of books\, videos\, ephemera and memories and have had countless discussions with practitioners in Japan that has led me to dig deeper into the question \n“What is the heart of kinbaku?” \nMy story begins with the stories of three men\, Ito Seiu\, Minomura Kou\, and Tsujimura Takashi and how their lives\, as well as their styles of rope\, created the basis for much of what we call kinbaku today. Along the way\, I discuss Osada Eikichi and the invention of the kinbaku stage show\, Nureki Chimuo’s Kinbiken salons\, Urado Hiroshi and Pink Eiga films\, Akechi Denki and the evolution of rope styles\, and Yukimura Haruki’s style of caressing rope.\n \nPLEASE NOTE THAT EVENT TIME IS 7pm PACIFIC TIME. WE ARE HOSTING FROM OAKLAND\, CA.\n* We will send the Zoom link and password upon registration. Therefore we are not able to offer refunds for any tickets for online classes purchased at any time. Thank you for understanding! \n* There will be no recording of this class. \nAbout the presenter: \nZetsu has been studying kinbaku since 2006.
