At the same time, the author's slogan 'The path of the rope begins in your heart' is very clearly reflected in how much attention is given to the psychological aspects of the interaction between the master and the model, the responsibility that each side takes on, the emotional connection, and the special closeness that arises between participants. Mastering the art of bondage independently is not easy. But to feel the depth and beauty of this practice, to understand what sensations people seek in shibari, and to detail your own interest, while simultaneously outlining a path for learning, is certainly possible." — Arina Vintovkina, relationship consultant, sex blogger "Information about shibari no longer needs to be searched all over the internet — now it is gathered in one place with step-by-step instructions. You will go through the entire development path of shibari: its beginnings, emergence, and popularization. You will meet renowned bondage artists and discover new ideas for yourself. Boris Mosafir is a professional shibari master, one of the best in Russia, and knows all the intricacies of his craft from experience." — Karol Soulrope, shibari master, inst
