Accessories in the RopeMarks shop are practical supporting items that complement your rope work.
This category includes items such as tenugui and carabiners, selected because they have a useful place in my own Kinbaku practice, teaching or workshop setup.

A oval aluminum straight gate carabiner with a circular section. It has a keylock system to prevent any snagging. This makes it recommended for use with mobile devices (pulleys, blockers, fall, ...) and therefore very suitable for shibari / kinbaku suspensions. This carabiner is a high quality product, tested piece by piece. -
Tenugui (手拭い) , litterally “hand (te 手 (て)) wipe (nugu う 拭う (ぬぐ))” A tenugui is a thin Japanese hand towel made from cotton. Typically, tenugui are about 35 by 90 centimeters (14 by 35 in) in size, plain woven, and almost always dyed with some pattern. Usually the long sides are finished with a selvage, and the short sides are just cut and so soon show some fraying. Same as the tenugui's offered here, the short side is unprocessed, some threads may fray. The pattern offered here is the mame shibori. Mame ("beans" / "pea") shibori is a classical Edo design, a bean/pea-dot pattern. Westerners would call this a polka-dot pattern. The other patterns are flower and bunny. We import our tenugui straight from Japan. Within the context of kinbaku a tenugui is typically used as gag or blindfold.
