Subay’s Bio

Subay (緒本子) is a kinbakushi and kinbaku model based in Hong Kong. She teaches and performs internationally - HK, Singapore, Philippines, Shanghai, Europe, and USA. She founded and owns Kokoro Studio, the first and only kinbaku studio in HK. She also founded and runs the Hong Kong Shibari Festival, a yearly festival gathering rope lovers throughout Asia.

Her first encounter of kinbaku was in Tokyo where she met and gained inspirations from Yukimura-sensei. Her journey later included Kanna-san, Kasumi-san and Ren-san, amongst others, as teachers. Today, her kinbaku is most influenced by Naka-sensei, whom she continues to study with.

To Subay, kinbaku is about exploring fantasies, creating a story with emotions, connecting the hearts and extending compassion. She gives a feminine and inclusive approach to eroticism and semenawa - her kinbaku is soft but intense, and allows space and freedom for the rope bottom to explore their inner selves.

Most of Subay's teaching is one to one in private sessions, so this workshop provides a rare opportunity to learn from her in an intensive workshop setting. Her teaching is full of content for both tops and bottoms - explaining not just the technical, but also the reason - the heart - of why we tie what we tie.
