Why you’ll like it
Ready to use: Carefully inspected, cut to 8 m, ends finished, oiled and waxed by hand and then low-heat tumbled before singing and light final oiling
Ogawa jute rope: Ogawa, based in Japan, is the gold-standard of shibari rope
Instructors' choice: Most instructors in our tutorials use Ogawa rope
Preparation & finish: Hand-treated in Berlin with organic jojoba oil and eco soy wax sourced from Sweden
Suitable for beginners or experienced shibari practitioners, rope bondage enthusiasts and artists, and anyone seeking the highest quality Japanese Tossa jute rope for shibari.
Please note that we’re a small team of shibari enthusiasts hand-treating every single rope ourselves. Each piece is individually singed and lightly oiled after production, which means you may notice subtle variations in texture and finish—that’s part of the craft and the character of natural fiber rope. If you ever want to further personalize the feel of your rope, we wrote a short guide on how to do that yourself (Step 3). We promise to always continue innovating and improving for you and hope to upgrade our store-offering very soon. We're always open for any feedback and really appreciate you supporting us on this journey :)
Break-in: Expect a little stretch during the first sessions
Scent note: JBO-batched jute has a light fuel-like odor on unpacking—this fades naturally with airing and use. If you prefer rope without JBO, you can find our JBO-free rope here.
CARE & STORAGE
Air and hang coils between sessions or store loosely
Keep dry; if damp, air-dry fully before storing
Light fiber “bloom” is normal—burn off or trim fuzz sparingly
Re-condition very lightly over time (small amounts of jojoba/wax)
The package arrived within a week having shipped to UK at a busy time of year for post. Nicely and securely packed. The treated ropes feel great and smell good. I am looking forward to using them next week.
The stickers were a great touch. You’re never too old for a cool sticker.
L'envoi à été rapide et soigné, les cordes sont parfaites. Elles dégagent une forte odeur, mais un petit mot accompagnant la commande explique que c'est une odeur tout à fait normale pour des cordes en jute d'Ogawa et que cette odeur s'estompera avec le temps (il y a même des astuces pour la faire partir plus vite) !
Merci pour ces superbes cordes et merci pour vos cours, tous extrêmement bien fait et d'une richesse incomparable !
Great feel, and actually it smells very nice, too!
I put it to the test with a light self tied futomomo and it was great, smooth and strong.
I would recommend!
Just purchase my new ropes from our store to support your team. They are fantastic, perfect for the coming sessions, nice packaging, and quickly delivered from Germany. Thank you so much.
The packaging is very neat and perfect for a gift. The treated ropes are beautiful, soft, and look strong. I am confident in their use with my partners.
