Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!
26 April 2007
And too late is
exactly what I am. Too late with updating RopeMarks and too late with keeping
you informed with information about RopeMarks (obviously, I'm assuming you
-want- to be kept up-to-date :)
With this first
DVD we've also opened a simple web shop where you can order "A Study in Red" and some more DVD's that have ties
to RopeMarks. other goodies are gift certificates for our workshops and a few
references to our nation's pride and highly recommended rope maker, Marrow of
BindMe.nl, and bondage furniture maker, Suringa-K. Over time more
shibari/kinbaku and bondage related items will be offered, a selection based on
personal knowledge of the quality of the items. We intent to offer you the Best
Of the Bondage world (BOB's world :). An
official shop, with online payment possibility and the works, will be setup when
either the content has grown enough or sales are through the roof and the manual
labor is to much to handle. So, start buying! :)

A short introduction into the history of Kinbaku
25 April 2007
A very
interesting article from the RopeMarks knowledge base is going to be published
in a Finish magazine. The article is a few pages introduction into to the
commonly accepted history of Japanese
bondage (shibari/kinbaku). The article ranges from the battle of Onin to,
roughly, the death of Akechi sensei. Well worth a read, even if I say so myself
:). Obviously Finish is not the first (or second or third or... :)) language
of most people in the world, so the
original English version is available on our online shibari tutorial site
RARE (http://RARE.RopeMarks.com/). This
is a paysite, knowing that we Dutch people are cheapskates I've also made the
article available on our shibari Hyve (Hyves is a MySpace for the
Dutch).
Speaking of
MySpace and Hyves. We have an account on both, so come join us and keep in
touch.
All relevant links to the communities you can find us on are in the
sidebar of our contact-page.
