The Journey Begins: A Knotty Problem


Kinbaku is a Japanese style of bondage or BDSM which involves tying up the bottom using simple yet visually intricate patterns, usually with several pieces of thin rope - often jute, hemp or linen and generally around 6 mm in diameter, but sometimes as small as 4mm, and between 7m-8m long.

I start by learning the various knots. I've pushed myself to learn one knot a day, practicing endlessly those knots that I've already mastered.

I begin with the simple Square Knot on the first day.



I learn and master the Double Slipknot on the second day. And today I managed to figure out the much more intricate True Lover's Knot.



If nothing else, I'll be able to pass for a real sailor.
