BoundCon SF 2014, 2014, is a American event in the bakushi / kinbaku ecosystem.
2014
Era: 2010s
San Francisco BoundCon event, separated from the Munich BoundCon node because the documented Japanese performer cluster belongs to a different location and one-off 2014 US event. Nawapedia entries for Ranki Kazami and Saki Kamijoo list the September 18-21, 2014 BoundCon San Francisco appearance with Norio Sugiura, Nagaike-shi, Saki Kamijoo and Ranki Kazami.
An interactive genealogy of bakushi and kinbaku —
the Japanese rope traditions that grew from Edo-period hojōjutsu
through twentieth-century SM magazines into today's global
shibari scene.

How to read it
Vertical position is time: the 1800s at the
top, the 2020s at the bottom. Cards are coloured by
school or lineage; lines between them carry
the relationship type:
deshi — direct apprenticeship
influence — peer study, mentorship
thinner colours — venue, magazine, production
card colour = school / lineage
Click a card to open its bio, antecedents and descendants.
Filters in the top bar narrow by era, entity type, or
relationship.
Caveats
Inclusion is selective: a person or studio appears only when
there's enough public evidence to anchor them meaningfully.
Missing birth years are deliberate — many practitioners don't
publicise them. Errors and gaps will exist; corrections
