In this first lesson, we’ll explore the history of shibari and its sociocultural roots, the basic concepts that define it as an erotic practice, and the specific terminology we’ll be using throughout the course.
While some terms might sound familiar, their meaning in this context can be quite different from how they’re used elsewhere. That’s why we’ll take the time to clarify these differences, ensuring we’re all on the same page.
This lesson isn’t just a theoretical introduction—it’s also a necessary starting point for diving into the study and practice of Yagami Ryu.
