featured partner:

Welcome to the RopeMarks website. Before you are off to explore this beautiful site to see what we have to offer you, please take a moment to read through this short introduction.

The RopeMarks site is run by Bob and Chantal, a real life, alternative lifestyle couple from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. If you are interested to know who they are, you can read more of Bob here and more of Chantal here.

Bob and Chantal have continuously been offering the world shibari / kinbaku related shows, demonstrations, live sessions, workshops and modeling opportunities ever since 1999. Make no mistake; this qualifies as a professional and expert level of knowledge and experience in this wonderful world of shibari / kinbaku.

The main focus of Bob and Chantal is on workshops, shows and modeling. As a nice side effect to this we have been getting more than a moderate share of media attention. The world enjoys the beauty of shibari / kinbaku.

Why is there a "RopeMarks"? We love the beauty that comes from this art form. The intimacy that is shared when we "play" on stage, but even more off stage. We love getting oohs and aahs from our workshop participants when we explain the secrets of shibari / kinbaku, not in the least we enjoy the enthusiasm from the photographers and art-galleries we worked with when they see what beauty can be created and the enthusiasm from the people we meet and talk to after a show or after one of our workshops.

For us shibari / kinbaku is the true erotic art of Japanese bondage.
