Alive Kinbaku Dojo

Alive Kinbaku Dojo, 2023-, is a Czech dojo in the bakushi / kinbaku ecosystem.

2023-

Era: 2020s

Prague shibari / kinbaku dojo and community space founded and operated by Alive Ropes. Official pages describe Alive Kinbaku Dojo as a live space in Praha 7 dedicated to Japanese Shibari / Kinbaku, with social events, educational workshops, beginner courses, Alive Rope Jams, private lessons and rental. The public history says official activity began with the first Alive Rope Jam in Prague-Dejvice on February 24, 2023, before the project moved in summer 2024 to Praha 7 / Holesovice and expanded its bamboo tying points. AKD's current festival page and ShibariRigger's 2025 report place Alive Kinbaku Festival / Alive Onawa Matsuri at the dojo as a recurring workshop, performance, discussion and rope-jam weekend. Current AKD shop pages and ShibariShop.cz document Ogawa Ropes and safety-gear availability through AKD; this is kept as material-support context rather than a separate ShibariShop lineage entry in this pass.
