A priestess of Kinbaku Shibari from Japan:
Born in 1980, Hourai Kasumi is a highly respected Kinbakushi from Nagoya, Japan.
Originally self-taught, at the age of 19 Kasumi decided to go to Tokyo to study with Akechi Denki in 1999. Since then she has learned from a variety of highly reputable sources.
Kasumi incorporates her own rope style. A combination of Kinbaku with more traditional Japanese personal flavors. It was founded on her own passion for traditional Japanese culture and her own understanding and sensitivity to it. Kasumi tries to teach this, not only with words but in real life with demonstrations. Currently, Kasumi uses all her experiences as a rigger, working for photography studios in collaborations aimed at expanding the sense and beauty of 3D photography. She also travels the world to share her passion for Kinbaku.
