Shibari Weekend Intensive: Getting a taste of the Kazami-style of tying

Kazami Ranki will take us through the basics of his style of rope  bondage. We will get to know the philosophy behind his choices for  specific patterns and learn to recreate these patterns with his  guidance.

In Kazami-style a good chest harness is fundamental. Nawashi Kazami  Ranki will start with teaching us his version of the gote/takate kote.  He will explain us where and why it differs from other versions. Another  of his building blocks is a stable and comfortable hip harness. With  these two basic patterns he will take us to suspensions and transitions.
