'''Shibari''' is a Japanese form of rope bondage within [[BDSM]] that emphasizes aesthetic patterns and artistic expression.<br />
<br />
The word ''shibari'' derives from the Japanese verb meaning “to tie” or “to bind.” In modern BDSM contexts it typically refers to decorative rope bondage that focuses on visual beauty and emotional connection between participants.<br />
<br />
Shibari often overlaps with the related term [[kinbaku]], which refers to erotic Japanese rope bondage.<br />

Shibari developed from historical Japanese restraint techniques known as '''hojojutsu'''.<br />
<br />
These techniques were originally used by samurai to capture and restrain prisoners during the Edo period.<br />
<br />
In the 20th century, these restraint methods evolved into an artistic and erotic form practiced within Japanese BDSM communities.<br />
