Learn from Osada Steve as he unveils the secrets of Yukimura-ryu / 雪村流.

About this Workshop

This is an LGBTQA+, BDSM, BLM, pro-equality, pro-carbon neutrality Event.

Grandmaster Yukimura Haruki / 雪村春樹 has elevated the caressing style of kinbaku to an art form. Learn how to engage with your rope partner by focusing on their heart and soul.

The essence of Yukimura-ryu / 雪村流 is taking the partner on a sensuous journey of rope. The emphasis is establishing a deeply emotional connection through empathy, respect, and the transfer of ki / 気. The rope patterns are relatively simple and easy for beginners to understand. It is the “way” the rope is applied that is the focus of this workshop.

The “way” is creating a dialog that encourages tying “with” your partner. This requires A) the right mindset and approach, and B) applying all the subtle body-and-mind techniques and moves. The latter can be broken down into micro-units, practiced, and mastered. A good Yukimura-ryu session is a sensuous, erotic affair instilling intimacy and love. It can also be meditative and peaceful – providing a safe space to discover the feelings and the soul of your partner.

You may want to participate in this workshop with someone you are comfortable experiencing and sharing sensuous intimacy with; someone you are willing to expose your inner feelings to; someone you trust with your emotional self.

This third of four Yukimura-ryu floorwork workshops is focusing on a number of useful restrictive ties such as the single-rope tengu (天狗) and the single-rope shukke (出家, temple tie) shibari patterns plus highlighting some of the Nine Gates of Osada-ryu.
