The article “Short introduction into the history of kinbaku ” from the RopeMarks knowledge base, is going to be published in the Finish magazine. “Tabu” (Jul. 2007 edition). The article is a few pages introduction into to the commonly accepted history of Japanese rope 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.
