Miss Lina
Taiwan-based kinbaku practitioner trained by Tenma Haru who runs the Taipei rope salon Salon Isshion, teaches the Tenma-ryū ushirote in small-group workshops and private lessons, and has performed in Taiwan and Japan since 2024.
Miss Lina is a kinbaku practitioner living in Taiwan and the owner and curator of Salon Isshion (一紫苑), a rope salon in Taipei. The owner’s profile on the salon’s website presents Miss Lina as a student of the Tenma style (天馬流) who trained under Tenma Haru (天馬ハル), with Sora (蒼空) as the senior in that line, and as an instructor of the Tenma-ryū ushirote, the box tie with the hands behind the back.
Teaching
Salon Isshion presents itself as a salon built around rope, run by Miss Lina for long-term exchange and growth and with links to Japanese and international kinbaku. On Wednesdays and Saturdays it alternates open rope gatherings for practice with workshops that build skills step by step around the Tenma-ryū ushirote; it also runs a reading group on BDSM-related topics. A 2026 listing for the ushirote workshops describes small classes for a rigger and a rope partner, open to people with or without experience, in which learners choose their own dates and need at least six to eight sessions to learn the complete box tie, with a badge on completion. Miss Lina also gives one-to-one lessons for beginners through advanced students, one-to-one rope experiences for people who have never been tied, and the salon sells Zoom courses in the Tenma style, with a beginner course on the ushirote and an intermediate course that teaches five of the school’s more than twenty lower-body ties. The profile says the teaching emphasizes safety, tension and aesthetic balance.
The profile cites a motto of the Tenma style that asks the practitioner to be mindful of the person being tied, of the person holding the rope, and of people in general.
Performance
The profile lists rope performances from December 2024 onward, each with a named rope model: appearances at the 愉虐宴 events in winter 2024, summer 2025 and winter 2025, at Isshion’s own 繩連細語 series in March and September 2025, and at 女繩 in July 2025. The list continues with an event called 東京大縄あそび in Tokyo in November 2025 and a kinbaku presentation in Yokohama in June 2026, followed the same month by a special edition of 繩連細語 marking Salon Isshion’s third anniversary. It also includes 繩惑 Jouwaku in February 2026, and the salon’s international page lists Miss Lina among seven performers at 繩惑2 Jouwaku2 on 29 and 30 August 2026, a program presented as crossing schools, nationalities and languages, alongside Tenma Haru and Sora from Japan. The salon announced a further 繩連細語 performance for 5 December 2026 in which Sora and Miss Lina each perform with a different partner.
