Acrylic on canvas. 24 × 31.5 inches. Shibari is a Japanese rope art that developed from hojojutsu, a martial practice used by samurai to restrain prisoners in the Edo period (1603–1868). Over time, these techniques evolved into a more aesthetic and expressive form, especially in early 20th-century Japan through theater and erotic art. By the mid-1900s, artists began emphasizing beauty, emotion, and connection, shaping modern shibari as both an artistic and intimate practice.
