This meeting will immerse us into the holy grail of Japanese rope bondage:
Gote (後手) shibari (tying hands behind the back)
Also commonly referred to as "Box Tie, Takate Kote or simply TK

The meeting will feature @Odys and @VioletRain where they will discuss the emotional and physical roles that Gote shibari plays between two partners.

Tickets are per person (no tying partner required)

The discussion will dive into evolution of Gote shibari in prominent Japanese kinbaku styles using historical notes from Showa Era bondage to modern times. We will break down the elements of Gote shibari that progressively mix hard and soft skills to make tying hands behind the back an experience. The discussion will be followed by a tying demo that will emphasize various discussed aspects of the Gote shibari.

The unique and intimate nature of this meeting would allow participants to discuss, observe and ask questions throughout the meeting, as well as taking photos from various vantage points during the tying demo.
