Boutique du Shibari (Ogawa Rope Europe)
Paris shop connected to the Seb Kinbaku teaching brand, selling Japanese Ogawa and SK jute and soft hemp rope, kits and care products. Ropes are cleaned, singed and lightly waxed in Paris and checked there before dispatch.
Boutique du Shibari is a rope shop that says it has served shibari practitioners since 2018, drawing on more than fifteen years of practice with Japanese rope. Its range is selected by Seb Kinbaku; the shop’s site also introduces his French-language podcast on shibari and NLP and handles bookings for his private lessons.
Products
The core range is Japanese Ogawa jute. Prepared rope is 6 mm, three-strand and 8 m long; it is cleaned, rubbed, singed and lightly waxed in Paris and checked piece by piece. Raw rolls of 50 to 100 m are sold unsinged, unoiled and unwaxed for buyers who prefer to treat rope themselves. The shop notes that Ogawa’s industrial jute contains jute batching oil, whose smell fades with airing and use. It also sells its own SK jute, colored jute, soft natural hemp, beginner kits, wooden suspension rings, Japanese clamps, jojoba oil for rope conditioning and safety shears, plus two e-books, a beginner’s guide to shibari and a book on shibari and NLP.
As listed in November 2026, prepared Ogawa rope cost €14.90 per 8 m, SK jute €16.00, colored rope €19.00, hemp €14.90 and a raw roll €90.00. Orders ship within Europe, normally within 48 hours for items in stock, in neutral packaging.
