AN AWESOME WEEKEND FULL OF SHIBARI PERFORMANCES & JAMS, BRINGING TOGETHER AMATEURS FROM JAPAN AND EUROPE IN A SPIRIT OF FRIENDSHIP & CONNECTION 

Onawa  Asobi is a 2-day kinbakushi event which is organized yearly in Tokyo since 2009 and has been a stepping stone for most of Japan’s talented  riggers: Naka Akira, Hajime Kinoko, Ranki Kazami, Ren Yagami, Kasumi  Hourai, Bingo Shigonawa, Ero Ouji and many others have all been  participants.

Yoi  Yoshida (JP), the initiator and organizer of this annual festival, has  teamed up with BeShibari (B) to organize the second European Edition of  Onawa Asobi in the Shibari Lounge venue. For performers and audience  alike, it is a unique chance to be part of a weekend of cultural &  rope exchange between Japan and Europe. 

​

The  spirit of the festival is to get amateur Kinbaku lovers together in an  atmosphere of friendship, respect, creativity and support. Onawa Asobi  Europe unites Shibarists who have travelled from Japan and all over Europe to show us their creativity and originality and share their  unique styles of rope play. Ranging from enthusiastic starters to  renowned and respected veterans, Onawa Asobi Europe is about Shibarists  who have a sincere interaction with their partners. You will see honest  performances by people who can take the audience on a journey and make  us truly feel the fun and excitement we all have when doing Kinbaku.
