Bakushi Map BETA

An interactive genealogy of bakushi and kinbaku — the Japanese rope traditions that grew from Edo-period hojōjutsu through twentieth-century SM magazines into today's global shibari scene.

People: 343
Entities: 269
Connections: 1546
Eras: 9

Each record is sourced from public material — Nawapedia, ShibariStudy, festival rosters, interviews, archived studio pages — and curated by a single researcher.

Beta — structure and interface are public; data is still being expanded and corrected.

How to read it

Vertical position is time: the 1800s at the top, the 2020s at the bottom. Cards are coloured by school or lineage; lines between them carry the relationship type:

deshi — direct apprenticeship
influence — peer study, mentorship
thinner colours — venue, magazine, production
card colour = school / lineage

Click a card to open its bio, antecedents and descendants. Filters in the top bar narrow by era, entity type, or relationship.

Caveats

Inclusion is selective: a person or studio appears only when there's enough public evidence to anchor them meaningfully. Missing birth years are deliberate — many practitioners don't publicise them. Errors and gaps will exist; corrections welcome at pussynawa@proton.me.
