ABOUT THE PRESENTER
My twenty-year obsession with rope started in Tokyo. I frequently travel to Japan to keep alive my passion for rope, studies, and research. Since there are so many rope salons in Tokyo, with so many talented rope people, if one keeps one’s heart and eyes open, one will learn a lot about Japan and its rope culture. This amazing odyssey in kinbaku has allowed me to meet/see/learn from so many great people.
Over the years I have performed and taught in four continents including, Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania.

The topics I teach are vast, I usually adjust my classes to the level of the participants – from beginner to experienced – with an emphasis on form, intention, and aesthetics.
