What IS in a name?

🌐 Online via Zoom + Recorded

🎟️ Sliding Scale - $20 suggested

🧠 All levels welcome

Join Ojipan for a deep dive into the wide world of 'style' in shibari. We use 'style' as a shorthand for a complex web of ideas, goals, and aesthetics - but why?

What does that mean to tie "Naka style" harnesses? Why might you prefer one style over another? Is it important to have a style at all, borrowed or your own? Let's find out!

We’ll dig into:

• Where do styles come from? Why do they develop?

• Why do most named styles reference men?

• What does it mean to invoke someone else's style when we tie? How do we balance reference with authenticity?

📚 You Should Know:

No prior experience with rope or historical study required. This is a conversation about context, history, and tradition - curiosity is the only prerequisite.

💻 You Should Bring:

Yourself, a notebook if you're a scribbler, and any big questions you’ve been sitting with.

🎥 A recording is available for one week after class to all ticket holders.

🕖 Virtual classes happen every 2nd Monday of the month at 7 pm Pacific. All virtual classes are included with our Virtual Membership.
