Workshop and performance for WhyKnot, Rome, Italy

RopeMarks, also known as Bob Roos, is a kinbaku professional from Amsterdam, the Netherlands

He started studying and specializing himself professionally in Japanese rope bondage (shibari, kinbaku) in 1999. Over his career he studied in the land of the rising sun under the lineage of the late Akechi Denki (明智伝鬼) and Naka Akira (奈加あきら). RopeMarks’ work reflects the traditional techniques taught by these leading kinbakushi but is vastly complemented with his own distinct and unique style.

He is famous for his energetic performances in Japanese rope bondage in which he combines traditional kinbaku with his own.

Surrender is my pleasure, restraint is my passion. I embrace surrender not as a weakness but as a conscious choice, a slow descent into sweet embarrassment and raw vulnerability. I enjoy the physical and mental aspects of restraint, the feeling of rope taking over and the hypnotic pleasure of control slipping away. Take me to the edge, push me past it, make me beg. A willing plaything for the right hands to tease and claim. Soft curves, eager obedience, and an undeniable taste for bondage. Italian heart, with a deep love for Japan’s beauty and culture. I seek depth in submission and crave the art of power exchange in all its intoxicating forms.
