Thonas Harukumo & Momoko – Announcing presenters

Harukumo encountered shibari for the first time in late 2005 in Tokyo, when he met Osada Steve. He had a long history of attraction with Shibari and bondage before that, and during that period in Japan he realized that it was something he wanted in his life. He is mostly influenced by three styles, Osada Ryû, Yukimura-Ryû and Yagami-Ryû. His focal point is the shared experience with his partner in an erotic, sensual and sexual way. He enjoys the subtle play with body and mind and exploring intense feelings and experiences. His teaching focuses on the quality of the experience and the emotional and sensual exchange between him and his partner.

Momoko had her first encounter with Shibari back in 2017 and it resonated within her from the start. Over time she went on a journey discovering the emotional dephth it provides. When she met Harukumo in 2022 , the moment they had their first Shibari encounter was a watershed. It all fell into place, and it became the basis for an increasingly intimate and close connection. In 2024, she received her name from him as an expression of their DS-relationship. In the same year, she startet to also be a model for Shibari workshops and performances with him.

Besides getting tied, she occasionally ties herself and integrates her experience as Ukete into her tying side. She likes the wide range of feelings that tying can evoke. She has learned and still keeps learning a lot about herself and others on this journey.
