This workshop is all about bringing personal kinks into rope. Instead of focusing on ties and patterns, we’ll explore fantasy, sensation, and play, using bondage as a tool to enhance pleasure and intensity.
From predicaments and unconventional materials to gags, bandaging, and functional ties, each exercise feels like a mini real session, encouraging creativity and freestyle exploration. Every couple will receive a kit of materials to take home, extending the experience beyond the workshop.
We will explore how to incorporate personal fetishism into bondage.
For once, ties, shapes, and all things rope-related will take a backseat.
You’ll discover that fantasy is the true limit and that the possibilities are endless!
We will explore the following moods/practices:
• Predicaments
• Chair ties
• Bamboo ties
• Ties with extra materials (twine, coconut ties)
• Face and/or fist bandaging – various levels of intensity will be demonstrated.
• Gags – exploring different types, from rope to fabric to wood.
• Functional ties – safely integrating impact, wax, or s*x play into your bondage sessions.
This class includes a significant amount of freestyle and personal interpretation. Each exercise is designed to feel like a mini real session!
Every couple will also receive a kit containing the materials needed for the workshop (bandage, twine, gags, etc.). The kit is yours to keep, so you can enjoy it even after the workshop.
Spicy-kit (per couple):
1. 1 piece of cotton fabric for gags (dimensions: 30cm x 90cm, I’ll show them how to rip it in 3 pieces)
2. 4 coconut ropes
3. 10 small clothe-pins (for nipples and lips)
4. 5 twine strings (2-3mm diameter x 6-7m)
5. 4 or 5 bandage gauze (it has not to be hyper-elastic or it would be painful, and it also has to be self-adherent not self–adesive; it doesnt have to be sterile, it would be pointlessly more expansive)
About Kurogami and Shiawase
Andrea Kurogami in 2014 he met Shiawase and they became partners in life.
Together, they started to study Japanese bondage at the end of 2016, with Riccardo and Red Sabbath. From that moment on, their way of living bondage changed. In 2017 Kurogami and Shiawase gave life to Kinkyphilia, a project for sharing their way of living alternative sexuality and especially the way in which they live kinbaku. In February 2018 Kurogami became a Kinbaku LuXuria’s certified educator, definitely matching Riccardo’s educational values. In December 2019 Kurogami and Shiawase performed at the 25th Nawa Naka Kai in Tokyo, together with Riccardo and Naka-san. In November 2022 he has been certified by Riccardo to teach level #1 of the style together with Soptik, making them the only 2 people officially authorised to teach Riccardo’s style to an intermediate level.
Kinbaku
Kinbaku LuXuria is a traditional style, which directly descends from Naka-ryu. Riccardo introduced a technical re-engineering in order to make the style fit with Western body types that didn’t undermine the original spirit of the style. Semenawa, the tormenting rope, is the word that better resume the mood of this style. Riccardo is Naka-sa’s Ichi-ban deshii and according to the will of his sensei he is the one who is designated to convey the style. In addition to several workshops and shows that Riccardo held in Europe and North America with his partner Red Sabbath, he performed several times in very important Japanese events in Tokyo, such as Maniac Festival and Nawa Naka Kai.
