2020s–

Era: 2020s

Palermo shibari school founded and run by Marco / 7Gatto and Wendy. The official Neko-Do site presents it as a space for conscious and artistic shibari practice in Palermo, with Marco and Wendy bringing nearly ten years of practice and offering beginner, intermediate and advanced courses, individual sessions, events and demonstrations. A 2022 Balarm listing describes Neko-dō as the Palermo rope school founded by Marco 7Gatto and Wendy, historical students of Federico Kirigami and Marta Tenshiko, in the context of a Kirigami / Tenshiko Palermo kinbaku event. That source supports a Kirigami / Tenshiko study-context bridge only; Neko-Do is documented as an independent Palermo school, not as a formal Yugen branch, deshi line, rank or certification claim.
