FUTOMOMO | Love it or hate it
Futomomo tut gerne mal weh. Die Frage ist: Muss er das?
-upper Beginner and Higher-
Vielleicht hasst du Futomomo.
Vielleicht hast du aber auch nur noch nicht den richtigen Futomomo kennengelernt.
Für die einen gehört der Futomomo zu den intensivsten und spannendsten Pattern im Shibari, für die anderen ist er vor allem eines: schmerzhaft. Gerade am Schienbein kann aus einem intensiven Erlebnis schnell unangenehmer Druck werden. Und ja – manchmal gehört Schmerz ganz bewusst zum Spiel. Aber nicht wenn unkontrollierter Schmerz mit "so ist Futomomo eben“ abgetan wird.
Denn Futomomo ist nicht gleich Futomomo und genau deshalb haben wir unseren eigenen Futomomo entwickelt.
.
Mel aka Mrs. Sakura gehört zu den Menschen, die am Schienbein ausgesprochen empfindlich sind. Viele klassische Ansätze funktionieren bei ihr deshalb schlicht nicht, zumindest nicht so, wie wir uns einen Futomomo vorstellen: stabil, vielseitig, minimalisitsch zu fesseln und dabei so angenehm wie möglich. Also haben wir angefangen, genauer hinzusehen und den Futomomo auseinanderzunehmen.
.
Aus diesen Überlegungen ist Schritt für Schritt unser eigener Futomomo entstanden. Wir haben unterschiedliche Ansätze analysiert, ihre Stärken herausgearbeitet, Elemente miteinander kombiniert und verändert – immer mit der Frage im Hinterkopf: ^^ Wie können wir einen Futomomo bauen, der für einen schienbeinempfindlichen Körper funktioniert, ohne seinen Charakter zu verlieren?
Und genau diesen Denkprozess möchten wir mit euch im Workshop durchlaufen. Wir zeigen euch nicht nur unser fertiges Pattern, sondern welche Überlegungen hinter unserem Lösungsweg stehen.
Doch auch das ist keine universelle Lösung. Deshalb bringen wir zusätzlich eine zweite, nochmals anders aufgebaute Variante mit, die den Druck am Schienbein auf andere Weise verteilt.
(*) Der Inhalt wird an das Lernthempo und Wissenstand der Gruppe angepasst.
👉WHAT TO EXPECT:
- The origin story of our own Futomomo, including an analysis of different existing Futomomo approaches.
- our own Futomomo, developed from it
- another shin-friendly option
- the conscious handling of Tention
👉 TARGET GROUP & REQUIREMENT:
The workshop is aimed atI am looking for riggers and models/bottoms who already have experience with Shibari and the Futomomo.
As a rigger, you should know at least one Futomomo variation and be familiar with its basic structure. You should be able to tie it independently and with control so that we don't get bogged down in the basics during the workshop. It doesn't matter which variation you've learned so far. We won't evaluate or "correct" it, but rather use it as a starting point to take a closer look together. We also encourage you to be open to not just copying existing patterns, but to examining them more closely.
As a model/bottom, you should know how a futomomo feels to you and be able to incorporate your perceptions accordingly during the bondage.
It doesn't matter at all which Futomomo you're familiar with. These diverse experiences are precisely what makes the workshop so interesting.
Because we don't want to look at Futomomo solely from the rigger's perspective. Especially as a model/bottom, you're not simply "the person on the rope." Your perception and experience are a crucial part of the process, regardless of whether you love it, hate it, or have simply endured it through gritted teeth.
Respectful interaction, informed consensus, and the protection of individual boundaries are always top priorities in our settings.

🤝Lecturer/Teacher:
Mel and Franky from Sakura Rope have been together for over 17 years and have been fascinated by the game of rope since the beginning of their relationship.
As instructors, you will jointly impart your profound and broad knowledge of rope bondage as a preventative process in both role-playing scenarios. At the heart of your teaching lies the analysis of the bondage process, the interplay of body, space, and energy, as well as the reflection on intimacy, control, and trust. Technical content is always embedded in broader contexts, such as anatomy, risk and consent models, aesthetic principles, and individual physical capabilities.
Mel and Franky pursue a deliberately open learning and teaching approach and are committed to continuous professional development. They draw on a broad foundation of knowledge, constantly expanded through regular training sessions, workshops, and exchanges with international teachers and artists. Key influences include Ren Yagami (JPN) and Sarca Martello (ITA), as well as the style of Akira Naka (JPN); since September 2023, they have been official instructors of the Iyasu Ropu method according to Sarca Martello.
Sakura Rope stands for a consensus-based, diversity-sensitive, and mindful teaching practice. Their workshops offer a structured, safe learning environment that allows for individual approaches and teaches rope bondage as a safe practice. Their teaching methodology is characterized by individual support, a high level of expertise, and sustainable knowledge transfer.
PS: You have been an integral part of the "Obscene" in Karlsruhe for 5 years and have been active at the "Passion" in Hamburg for 3 years, both as an artist and as a lecturer.

One Rope Predicament
Ein Seil — nicht dekorativ, sondern wirksam!
-upper Beginner and Higher-
Mit nur einem Seil erforschen wir Predicaments (Zwangslagen) und bringen unser Model/ Ukete in Situationen, in denen Balance, Muskelarbeit und bewusste Körperhaltung entscheidend werden.
Unsere Dominancelanguage ist heute nicht laut oder von Stärke geprägt sondern subtil aber nicht weniger kraftvoll – ein Spiel für Shibari-Praktizierende, die Kontrolle nicht binden, sondern spürbar machen wollen.
Der Fokus liegt auf Fesselungen als körperlich-mechanische Spielart im BDSM-nahen Kontext mit bewusster Konstruktion komplexer Positionen. Einfach und effektiv verzichten wir auf aufwändige Knoten und ersetzen diese durch Spannung und Fesselungen in denen kleine Veränderungen im Seil oder im Stand des Körpers unmittelbare Konsequenzen haben. Der Körper wird gehalten, ausgestellt, kontrolliert — nicht durch Masse, sondern durch Konsequenz. Macht entsteht dort, wo Optionen verschwinden.
✅
Schwerpunkte:
- Grundlagen und Mechanik von Predicament im Shibari
- Aufbau einfacher Zwangshaltungen
- Sicherheit, Kommunikation und Risikobewusstsein
- Wahrnehmung von Belastungsgrenzen
- Sicherheit, Abbruchmöglichkeiten und gegenseitige Verantwortung
👉
Target audience:
This workshop is aimed at Shibari practitioners who are interested in physically demanding, structured, and mindfully guided play situations. All roles are welcome.
We place great emphasis on safety, consensus, and clear communication. This workshop does not replace comprehensive Shibari training, but rather provides fundamental principles and approaches for responsible predicament.
Respectful interaction, informed consensus, and the protection of individual boundaries are always top priorities.
⚠️
IMPORTANT NOTE/ TRIGGER WARNING:
During the workshop, ropes will also be used in the neck/throat area. This requires increased attention, mindfulness, and responsible action. The workshop is exclusively for participants who are aware of the special responsibility and associated risks.
The entry requirements therefore exclude complete beginners from participation. We reserve the right to assess suitability based on our risk profile and preventative teaching style at the outset.
