When I was little…

My fascination with tying and hanging things began.

I adorned the wall with hung beads and suspended rocks from the ceiling. I also used to tie Barbie dolls and stuffed animals with yarn. Despite my love for it, I never fully understood the reason behind my passion.

In 4th grade, my father took Me to his friend's house. While they engaged in a lengthy conversation, they instructed Me to wait in his friend's son's room.

I sat down and waited.

Boredom set in.

I sneaked a peek into the closet.

And I found these beautiful toys.

After I saw these beautiful toys, I also found books (Kitan Club BDSM magazine sold in Japan).

I became even more curious, so I looked through the pages and saw pictures of women and men being tied up.

Several books with multiple images of people being tied up in shibari style.

When I entered college, I started looking at SM Sniper (SM magazine sold in Japan) and that’s how I found a fetish bar/cafe.

I wanted to work at one of those places where I could wear corsets. The ones that offered BDSM were the only places that could fulfill My desires.

They had shows and performances where I saw a girl being suspended.

I experienced the same emotions as I did back in 4th grade.

In 2nd grade, I used to playfully tease boys by tying them up to a tree or a pole and tossing rubber balls at them for fun.

When My father was finished with his friend, I received a call to return home.

I hurried to hide all the books back in the closet and never told him what I had seen. Something has changed within Me since then…

During my high school years, I developed an interest in corsets. I loved the tightness and appreciated their beauty as a form of fashion.

Ever since then, I have been into tying people and have been mastering my skills for over 20 years.
