Photo Essay (Ichigo Ichie) captures a decade of Hajime Kinoko’s work, redefining shibari as an artistic expression rather than a form of restraint. Blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics, Kinoko transforms rope into a medium of beauty, tension, and movement.
A visually striking collection that highlights the sculptural elegance of his practice, rooted in the Japanese philosophy of “Ichigo Ichie”—cherishing each fleeting moment.

A deep look into the artistry of one of Japan’s most influential rope artists.
