EP 55: Supaku Sparks

"Every good story starts with a hardware store." Sparks shares his journey into shibari, from learning rope with his wife to studying under Kanna. He explores communication, consent, emotional connection, and creative sadism, offering personal insights into building meaningful rope experiences.Sparks began tying in early 2015. Learning quickly both locally and travelling interstate at every chance to further knowledge. Sparks began an educational role in 2016 and not long there after, began teaching and performing interstate. Rope has since carried through to teaching and performing internationally and travelling to Japan to further continue his education, achieving the position of deshi to Nawashi Akechi Kanna Sensei and recieved his teaching certificate in the style of KannaRyu. Running a studio locally in Adelaide (Shibari Adelaide) he takes pride in the joy of others and growth in the rope community, as well as continually looking for positive self development along the way. His early trouble shooting and un-canny memory enables him to modify and skillfully adapt ties to each model. The deep intimacy and connections conveyed through rope, along with a sadistic flavour, is what Sparks enjoys most about shibari. 'Rope is a tool used to play with your partner'.Instagram: @nawashisupakuX: @SupakuRopeExplore 800+ high-quality rope bondage tutorials taught by world-class instructors: https://shibaristudy.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shibari.study/X: https://x.com/shibari_studyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShibariStudyFetlife: https://fetlife.com/users/856858
