Kinbaku Nest
Appointment-only private studio of Seb Kinbaku for one-to-one initiation, advanced tuition and artistic shoots. Bookings now run through Seb Kinbaku’s rope shop, Boutique du Shibari.
Kinbaku Nest is the private teaching studio of Seb Kinbaku in the 16th arrondissement, furnished with tatami, bamboo and Japanese rope. Seb Kinbaku presents himself as a shibari artist, trainer and coach who has shared shibari for more than ten years. He also lists training as an NLP master practitioner, a hypnosis practitioner and a certified sexotherapy practitioner, and states that his rope teaching is educational and has no therapeutic aim.
Lessons
Lessons are by appointment only and are given to one person or one pair at a time, at any level. A session lasts two and a half hours, and rope and equipment are provided. There is no fixed program: a lesson can cover the basics, deepen fluidity, rope construction and reading a partner, focus on practice as a couple with attention to communication and consent, or prepare a photo shoot or visual concept. The studio groups this content into three levels it calls Origine, Ligne and Essence. According to his shop, all classes are taught in French.
Bookings and gift vouchers run through Boutique du Shibari, the rope shop connected to Seb Kinbaku, which listed a private lesson at €135 and a 45-minute online coaching session at €45 in November 2026. Under the name Shibari School Paris he also runs introductory workshops for pairs and themed workshops by level, with consent, communication, listening and safety given a central place in the teaching, and he announces workshops in Ibiza.
