#103: Evolution of a Shibari Master — with Kazami Sensei
Send us a textIn this episode, I speak with Kazami Sensei, one of Japan’s most respected figures in shibari and the founder of Kazami-ryu. Over a career spanning more than thirty years, he has performed and taught extensively throughout Japan and internationally, with certified schools now operating in Australia, Canada, and Hong Kong.In our conversation, Kazami Sensei reflects on his early years of self-teaching, drawing inspiration from the late master Randa Mai, and how his own style gradually developed into what is now known as Kazami-ryu. He shares how shibari has evolved over the decades, what continues to drive his innovation, and the philosophy that keeps his practice alive after thousands of performances.We talked about:How he creates such emotionally alive performances without rehearsingWhat he’s really focused on while performing (it’s not just technique)The evolution of shibari across three decades — from VHS tapes to global schoolsThe story behind his signature L-locks and how Kazami-ryu developedWhy his ties are always changing and improvingHow riggers can bring out their model’s beauty through awareness and intentionAnd yes, the unforgettable story of the time a rope actually caught fire mid-performance 🔥Mentioned in this episode:Photos of his performance at the Cabaret can be found on instagram.

#102: Three Ingredients for a Seriously Hot S&M Scene
Send us a textWhy does pain sometimes feel so damn good? And what actually makes a scene hot instead of just… well, hurt?In this episode, I’m diving deep into the delicious world of sadism and masochism — and the three ingredients that make it work: power, attention, and surrender.I just got back from Brisbane, where I got to do another rope scene with Deadmaxis (and yes, I asked him to show me a bit more of his mean side 😈). I also went to Miss Gen’s 10-year shibari anniversary cabaret, which was honestly breathtaking. Seeing those performances — including one by Kazami Ranki himself — gave me so much to think (and feel!) about when it comes to the psychology of pain and kink.In this episode, I share what I discovered about:Why power and vulnerability create such intense erotic charge.How attention — not just pain — is the secret sauce behind hot S&M.What surrender really feels like and what makes it possible.Why teasing, torment, and fear can actually feel incredible.If you’ve ever wondered how S&M can feel loving, connected, and insanely sexy all at once — this one’s for you.Mentioned in this EpisodeDeadmaxis - follow on Intragram @_deadmaxisxx Harley 🐰 Follow me: Fetlife Instagram Visit my website harleyrabbit.com

Send us a textThis week I’m joined once again by my partner, rigger, and Dom — Slade — as we unpack our recent experience completing Kazami-Ryu Level 1, a three-day Shibari intensive right here in Townsville.Together we share what it was really like to dive into formal rope training — the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the lessons learned from both sides of the rope.We explore:Slade's lessons in persistence as an aspiring rigger Harley's insights on how mindset can have a major effect on pain toleranceThe difference between playful rope and “lab-mode” learningHow rope journaling can be a creative way to integrate learningWhen to upgrade your ropeNavigating comparison and confidence in group learningThe importance of having fun and being a supportive partnerThis one feels like you’re sitting down with us for a casual chat about rope over a few drinks. Neither of us are experts — but sometimes that makes the experience even more relatable for those who are also new to this world.From bleeding fingers and proud time-trials to unexpected moments of calm and connection, this episode is both an inside look at structured rope education and a love letter to the art of learning together.Special thanks to Basanos and Angel for bringing their amazing skills and tuition to our little town!xx Harley 🐰 Follow me: Fetlife Instagram Visit my website harleyrabbit.com
