Itō Seiu

Many will say that Kinbaku started with Itō Seiu, or at least, he’s the common inspiration to most people who pursue Japanese-style rope bondage. He was also a very talented painter outside of the kink world. He had a fascination for Kabuki theatre (which sometimes features tied-up people for storytelling), ukiyo-e erotic painting and Edo period torture, which inspired his craft. Over the years, he has created many works, including books, photographs, and paintings.
