수집: Hajime Kino / Works (Artworks)

**現代アーティスト、緊縛師、ロープアーティスト、写真家 Contemporary artist, Shibari master, Rope artist, photographer**

縛りをエロスと捉えるだけでなく、ポップな解釈やアートへの昇華も得意とし、特に自然（木や岩など）や空間までも縛るユニークな作品性は評価されている。近年はパフォーマンス以外に、写真や映像によるアートワークも精力的に発表。縛りと撮影、演出のすべてを手がける。また国内のみならず、パリ、ロンドン、ミュンヘンなど20以上の主要都市で公演やワークショップを行っており、海外での認知度も高い。日本を代表する縄のスペシャリスト。

Kinoko's works are evaluated not only as a form of eroticism but also a new conception of pop culture and art especially when it comes to his unique shibari that involves tying trees and rocks in the nature or even an empty room. In recent years, Kinoko has devoted himself to creating artworks with filming and photographing beside stage performances. his artworks which he ties, shoots and directs are gaining recognition as "Art beyond Shibari" and are known both domestically and internationally through his workshops and showcases in major cities of over 20 countries such as Paris, London and Munich. Kinoko is the representative Shibari specialist of Japanese rope art.
