Life is strange. Until a few years ago, bondage was a mystery for most people – and even more its Japanese style, properly known as kinbaku. Then, teachers and schools began popping up like mushrooms after a rain, so much that today it almost seems normal for everyone to do suspensions or semenawa that Japanese themselves find uncommon.
Looking a little more closely, however, those who actually understood the soul of kinbaku still are a rarity. Making the right knots or being swift in packing up your partner is in fact far from being the point – that would be creating an unique empathic relation, of which ropes are but the medium. At Sunday, October 1 Sadistique, in Milano, this will be the topic of a workshop held by La Quarta Corda, maybe the most refined connoisseur of the psychological and emotional aspects of Japanese bondage.
A musician and a sex educator before becoming a rigger, La Quarta Corda suggested as a title for his lecture The hidden beauty of details. And we can’t wait to discover them with him!
