About the series… Shibari is the Japanese-inspired art of tying a subject to not only immobilize them, but to do so elegantly and beautifully – creating an intimate and erotic experience for both the subject and the person tying. Adopted by rope enthusiasts all over the world, shibari (literally “to tie” or “to bind”) is a cornerstone of erotic rope art and the subject of captivating performances and photographs. However, in-depth resources for learning the art are difficult to obtain, making shibari intimidating, obscure and difficult to master… Until now.

The Complete Shibari series is the most complete and accessible English-language guide to shibari ever published. Author Douglas Kent strips away shibari’s mystery and reveals how to create visually stunning compositions with rope and the human form, in your own home or play space.
