Almost forgot that one: In July (2013) kikkou.com turned 17, one year short of the legal drinking age in some states.
That’s occasion enough for a little pop quiz. Suppose you answer all three of the following questions correctly. In that case you will be eligible for a draw to win a complimentary lesson (read: shibari training) by Osada Steve at the Osada-ryu Honbu Dojo (free accommodation at the dojo included).
And here we go:
1) In what year did kikkou.com first go online?
2) Does the site feature tutorials?
3) Are there other sites preceding kikkou.com that explain the secrets of shibari/kinbaku in English?
All answers are cleverly hidden here.
Kikkou.com is now history (pun intended). But if you wish to elevate your kinbaku skills and reach a new level of understanding what the art of Japanese rope bondage has in store for you, check out Osada Steve’s Kinbaku-Academy.com tutorial website.

Now that the answers have been revealed, the offer to win free tuition in Osada-ryu closes.
This pop quiz was actually a cleverly disguised survey to identify how many visitors are drawn to TokyoBound. I am happy to report that there are no less than two alert readers — BOTH of them herewith declared winners.
Stay tuned, the next chance to win free tuition is scheduled for July, 2026.
