Heads up bondage adepts/lovers/enthusiasts!
A very good friend of mine, Wanderburg (besides a really nice guy with a warm heart in general and for the rope community in particular, is also an extremely talented photographer (see his Fetlife profile) started developing an incredible work: “The story of Japanese bondage”. Countless hours of research, interviews and designing are leading to the best overview I’ve ever seen on the development of Japanese bondage up to where we are know. With historical details, dates and descending knowledge from masters to students, and relevant illustrations, this overview provides a unique insight in the history of Japanese bondage, from 2.800 BC (!!) up until today. Yes, when I first heard about it, I thought the same as you are thinking now: INCREDIBLE!. And yet it is true! 🙂
You can imagine the enormous amount of work that went into creating this overview, and the result is astonishing.
I write this blogpost about this, because I like to support him and his work. I really feel he should get something for himself out of this. Currently the overview is in German, and is reaching completeness. The upcoming work is:
* finishing the overview, based on feedback of Japanese Shibari teachers
* further fact checking
* translation of the overview to English.
And again, I really feel we as community should thank him for his work.
So, how am I helping?
* I write this blog post, and I will distribute it everywhere!
* I sell a ‘supporting ticket‘ in my webshop.
* I’ll take the responseability to the backers / buyers to communicate with them, print and ship the overview.
How can you help?
* Buy your own copy of the overview in the webshop.
You’ll get a printed version tailored to your specifications:
* in German or in English (whichever you prefer)
* in any size you want, with a maximum of 90cm for the longest side
* printed on 2mm thick dibond
* shipment included in the price (in Europe – contact me if you’re outside EU and really interested in getting this)
(if you have other needs e.g. printed size, get in touch and we’ll work something out!)
=> We’ll be in touch when you buy this voucher. For now
* I cannot say when it will be finished, or when you will get your copy. But You’ll get it. I promise on my honor.
– Eternal gratitude from:
* the creator of this overview (Wanderburg)
* all people involved in creating this incredible piece of work
* the bondage community for you supporting the creation of this work
* me – because I contribute too, and I really would love to see this become reality
* all the other backers for helping making this possible.
* Share this post on your social media accounts. Talk to your friends about this. Get money together with all the people from your local dojo and get the print for your local shibari dojo.
