Shibari: Rope Workshop Step-by-Step in 20 Lessons

When Philippe BOXIS uncoils the first of his ropes, the model has already begun to surrender to his creativity, with her senses awakening. The smell, the sound of the rope as it slips around her body, the feeling of rope over her skin, these sensations thrill her to the utmost. His fingers flutter around, the gestures soft – but the intention is firm. There seems to be nothing else around the couple; everyone in the audience holds his breath… Nothing but this nude, gorgeous woman – and this man who transforms her into a goddess.

This Deluxe hardcover book contains 20 illustrated lessons of floor and suspension rope work. It includes chapters about The origins of Shibari ans Basic knowledge.
The last chapter is a large gallery of 86 artistic photographs shown 33 superb European models (many are classified as mature content).

Philippe Boxis is a self-taught man. Inspired by Japanese bondage iconography, he made a decision at the age of fifty to go to Japan to find the masters of his life's art. When he met Steve Osada, it was an absolute revelation: he could finally put a name to what he had always been feeling deep within himself.

That's how Philippe, a professional photographer, started a new life. From then on, he combined photography with Shibari, or rather, he put photography to good use for his art in order to share it with the world.
