Quebec City-based rope lover, self-tier, educator and community creator behind Rope365 and Cordespace. Rope365's author page says Ebi has self-tied since 2006, modeled in rope from 2007, and began tying others and self-suspending in 2011 after learning with Ichinawa-Kai and Kazami Ranki in London. Cordespace's team page says she began performances and teaching in 2011, loves Akechi Denki's style through her teachers Nawashi Kanna and Pedro Cordas, and now works at Cordespace as manager, teacher and supervision lead. The same page names Ebi as co-founder of NARIX and La Nuit des Cordes, while Rope Podcast EP90 frames her as a community-builder and curriculum designer whose Rope365 project turns rope education into a structured set of daily concepts for many levels.

ShibariStudy, festival rosters, interviews, archived studio
pages — and curated by a single researcher.
Beta — structure and interface are public;
data is still being expanded and corrected.
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
