Shop

I’m Bob Roos, rigger, teacher, performer, and the person behind RopeMarks. I’ve been working with rope since 1999, and over the years I’ve become very particular about the materials and tools I use.

This shop is a collection of products I personally use, trust, or have selected because they serve a clear purpose in my own Kinbaku practice. Good rope and well-chosen gear should support the experience, not get in the way of it.

You’ll find Japanese jute rope, rope care, accessories and a small selection of specialist gear here. The range is intentionally limited. I’d rather offer a few things I know well than fill the shop with products simply because I can.

Japanese Jute Rope

Ogawa and Nawaya jute rope selected for Kinbaku, with different diameters, finishes and handling characteristics.

Rope Care & Essentials

Rope care, samples, cloths, tenugui and practical extras for preparing and maintaining your rope.

Gear & Merchandise

A small selection of specialist gear and RopeMarks merchandise beyond rope itself.

They can be perfect conversation starters, to show off some cool Kanji or simply to support yours truly :"). You can even use them for your vanilla friends! The characters "绳之痕" read "nawaato". Nawaato translates to the actual marks that can be left on the skin by rope; rope marks. By using the abridging character "之", often used in ancient tradition and poetry, the entire word becomes a more poetic version of itself, i.e. "the marks of the rope". All together these three characters represent the Japanese writing for the name I use; "RopeMarks"

  • Tenugui

    15.95
    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.
