Tokyo rope shop / supplier also known as 小川ロープ. Ogawa's official site presents it as a jute-rope and industrial-rope specialist founded in 1929, not as a shibari-only brand. In shibari material infrastructure, Ogawa matters because current rope shops and education spaces sell, prepare, use or teach with Japan-sourced Ogawa jute for kinbaku / shibari use: NekoNeko sells untreated 6 mm Ogawa jute rope directly at its Belgrade studio, Shibari Study sells Berlin-prepared Ogawa Tossa jute through its shop extension, Anatomie / Shibari Store sells natural and dyed Ogawa variants as part of its studio feedback loop, and RopeMarks identifies Ogawa as one of the Japanese jute ropes he uses and stocks. Modeled as material infrastructure now that it has direct studio / platform / practitioner stockist bridges, not as a school or lineage node.
