This kinbaku session happened in 2020, during one of our first live streams.
During the pandemic, we chose to share our passion with other people through the Internet and live streaming. To appreciate Kinbaku, you need to experience it in person, but this page can give you at least a taste of the emotions felt during a session.
Videos and kinbaku
Kinbaku videos are growing in popularity. In fact, they are a great tool to get an idea of the style of a couple practicing this discipline. We can catch the expressions on the model’s face, the posture and body language of the rigger. It is interesting to observe the way the breathing changes during the course of the session. Another key element is the ability to observe the fluidity with which transitions from one form to another occur in the course of tying. The dramatic nature of a good photograph is certainly unsurpassed, but the opportunity to admire the whole process that brings the model to the moments worthy of being photographed is equally important.
Attention span
The threshold of attention is getting lower and lower. After live practice, the traditional way of appreciating kinbaku has always been through photography. However, it must be admitted that in our age the time we spend appreciating a photograph is very little. Videos force us to pause a little longer, to catch the whole development of the story that is woven throughout the session. By devoting a few more moments to appreciating this practice, we will also preserve a more vivid memory.
Music for kinbaku
A video also gives us a chance to appreciate the couple’s choice of music in reference to a particular session. Tenshiko personally chooses the music for each public performance and for all the videos made. Below you can find the link to our spotify playlists.
