Bob RopeMarks

RopeMarks, Bob Roos, is a kinbaku professional from Amsterdam, who has been tying professionally for the past 25+ years. He started studying and specializing himself professionally in Japanese rope bondage (shibari, kinbaku) in 1999. Over his career he studied in the land of the rising sun under the lineage of the late Akechi Denki (明智伝鬼) and Naka Akira (奈加あきら). RopeMarks’ work reflects the traditional techniques taught by these leading kinbakushi, but is vastly complemented with his own creative twists and distinct style. He is most well known for his energetic and high-speed performances, which you might see reflected today. He has done performances and workshops all over the world, including in Japan
