In Shinto religion, in order to make something sacred, man will tie a rope around it. This sacred quality of the tying can be applied also to Kinbaku, which is an erotic, spiritual, artistic connection between the people who are doing it. It started with samurais capturing enemies on battlefield 500 years ago. “Rope is an extension of arms and communication tool. Two people can really be close and have emotional exhange”, says rope master Osada Steve from Tokyo. Osada Steve is student of Haruki Yukimura, a rope master who has tied over 3000 people during his life. “If you look at the Japanese samurai armor, it’s tied on. If you’ve ever received a Japanese gift, it’s an exquisite thing”, says Asagi Ageha, the most popular star of the new generation. Japan places a ritualistic weightness on everyday acts-a-talent our own culture lacks and turn almost anything, including knots and ropes into art. Nowadays rope is used to create an artistic, meaningful scene between two people. Kinbaku is about creating a beautiful climate and an exciting dramatic experience.Produced by: John HakalaxDirected & Written by: Jouni HokkanenDirector of Photography: Jussi Käkkis ArhinmäkiEdited by: Speedy DurgaLead Animator: Ilkka PitkänenAssistant Animator: Mikko ErichMusic by: Simon BartholomewSound Designer: Pekka LipponenProduction company: Hakalax Productionshttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596572/You can keep your ratio watching it onlinehttp://www.reelport.com/fileadmin/templates/reelport/flvplayer/index.php?submission_id=FI09-1-BA7B
