This page provides an overview of RopeMarks’ private bondage and kinbaku, related, library.
During the events we are present and/or teach and during our own RopeMarks Ryū activities we often get questions about interesting Japanese rope bondage, related, books. Most of the books we think are interesting to study, understand or simply enjoy kinbaku we own (or are looking to own).
This page, a work in progress, will display the books we find interesting.
