Japanese bondage show
Eroticism, charm, elegance
Kirigami and Tenshiko have been performing kinbaku and shibari demonstrations together since 2011. Their style is inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, but they adapt with elegance and dynamism to more modern situations. They are just as comfortable in clubs as they are at the most exclusive parties.
How we organize a shibari show
- Flexibility with respect to the requests of the artistic director
- Real eroticism, brought to the stage by a real couple
- Professionalism in making secure, yet high-impact bindings
Preparation of the bondage show
- We personally perform a technical inspection when necessary
- Agree show atmosphere and attire with artistic direction
- We assemble and disassemble the necessary equipment
What we offer besides the bondage show itself
- Transportable structures suitable for every need
- Extensive wardrobe, both traditional Japanese and western
- Willingness to converse with the audience (in Italian and English)
More information about live kinbaku demonstrations
Although modern kinbaku is now close to a century old, the first bondage shows inside undergound clubs date back only to the 1960s, by artists such as Osada Eikichi and Akechi Denki.
Today, of course, the scenario is very different: even if our preference is for shows performed in a intimate atmosphere, our bondage shows are adaptable to the most diverse needs; we usually perform in clubs, discos, fetish events, night clubs, private sessions… in Milan, Italy, and abroad.
Among the venues that have hired us Hollywood, Pepenero, Alcatraz, Phenomenon, Black Hole, Second Skin Atene etc.
The most significant “daytime” experiences are instead Milano Tattoo Convention and festival dell’erotismo di Venezia.
For our shibari shows, Rope Tales has structures suitable for any type of setting, whether you already have ceiling attachment points or only have floor space.
Clubbing
Our work as performers is not limited to the exhibition, but begins with an inspection, to verify the necessary hardware, continues with a briefing, necessary to agree on the tenor of the show with the artistic director, and ends with the disassembly and cleaning of the area used.
We stage actual kinbaku demonstrations. The artistic director is responsible for setting the tone for the evening, and making any specific requests about actions or tools to avoid during the performance.

Private kinbaku shows by Rope Tales
We also perform privately in more intimate kinbaku performances. When we organize a private session we pay the utmost attention to preparing the atmosphere. The clothing, lighting, decor, and music all contribute to the result along with the strings and the beauty of the body.
Except for the bondage show, which never follows a precise schedule, all other details can be discussed with the client. We use qualified professionals for catering and wine. Every aspect is agreed upon and prepared with care and love for detail.
We discuss with the client the general tenor of the session, to satisfy both the needs of an audience more focused on sensuality and eroticism, as well as requests more focused on the SM aspect.
