CharlyB presents “4 hands and no feet”
Shibari techniques are also used to create decorative patterns as seen in this nice diamond weave rope dress. This image is also an example of an excellent rigger and his pretty model having fun with shibari. Peek-a-boo. Continue reading
Jim Duvall presents “2010-2614”
The graceful position and flowing hair on this beautiful model, clean rigging and interesting lighting are important elements that combine to make this image another fine example of the art of shibari. Notice, this model is suspended only by the rope around her thigh and bent leg. This is a difficult rigging construction that is used only with experienced shibari models. This is a very nice image.

Live shibari performance art by Dasniya Sommer
This video shows an awesome shibari performance by Dasniya Sommer who is a beautiful German model, rigger and performance artist, — and athlete.
In this performance she creates several very nice shibari positions as she gracefully moves from one to another in this wonderful self suspension routine. By herself, while suspended, she creates positions similar to those some of us use to create our shibari art. This is special. Continue reading

Stefano Laforgia presents “Old memories”
This beautiful picture was taken during a Hanami celebration, where people enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms. Appropriately, this lovely model is wearing a cherry red kimono with excellent ropework during a nice partial suspension. This is a wonderful example of people enjoying their shibari in a clean, clear, fresh air outdoor environment. I’m sure it brings back not only old, but also very good memories for them.
