The Good Wife & Shibari

[Shankara20]

Anyone see last nights The Good Wife?

It attempted to bring aspects of Shibari into the story line.

Now I have been away from active Shibari once I left San Francisco and things may have developed in a direction I am unable to see, but give me a break.

The language used is almost word for word taken from a Shibari website and treated as if it were the way all practitioners see it.

"In Shibari, the model is the canvas, the rope is the paint and brush, and the rigger is the rope artist.

The aesthetic arrangement of ropes and knots on the model’s body in Shibari rigging emphasizes characteristics like sensuality, vulnerability, and also strength."

Lovely. But does that cover it all? is that it?

Granted, I may have gotten the history of Shibari confused with the history of Hojojutsu, but cut me some slack, it has been over 12 years.

I have no idea anything about the present Shibari development, but that quote does seem to be a wonderful spirtitual/romantic outlook that's far more "television friendly" than "I LIKE ROPE". Which I'm pretty sure isn't an established Shibari thing either, but I imagine you get the point

Damn, I saw 'the Good Wife' and the analogy barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen comes to mind, THEN I read 'Shibari' ....

Great, Fu is finally into the cooking reference deviation of observation of this craft.

My partner, his first response to a picture of a woman artfully rigged was "how wonderful, human salami". I think a "fava bean " reference followed soon after, he's so bad
