The Onawa Spirit

The spirit of the festival is to get amateur Kinbaku lovers together in an atmosphere of friendship, respect, creativity, and support. Onawa Asobi Europe has gathered Shibarists who have travelled from Japan and all over Europe to show us their creativity and originality and share their unique styles of rope play.

Ranging from enthusiastic starters to renowned and respectable veterans, Onawa Asobi Europe is about Shibarists who have a sincere interaction with their partners. You will see honest performances by people who can take the audience on a journey and make us truly feel the fun and excitement we all have when doing Kinbaku.
