Defiance, vulnerability, tenderness and acceptance, all in one gaze. Runa carries so much potency in her expressions.

From a while ago...

Always a pleasure to spend time with Andy, in and out of ropes.

Tying Akane-san a few days ago, in a humbling class with Murasaki-san. I've been studying Yukimura-ryu for three or four years at this point, and realized in the last few days that I knew very little about how to effectively use nawajiri. Now I know a bit more.

Tying with amazing Iroha-san in a private class with Murasaki-san. Focusing on improving my understanding of how to use nawajiri to move a partner in ropes, both physically and emotionally.

Cath & me, captured by A. during day 2 of photography workshop with Sugiura Norio in Tokyo. What an experience, to be directed and photographed by Sugiura-sensei!

Thanks to Fede & Marta from YΓΌgen Studio for asking me to be a part of this fantastic event. And to dearest Cath for sharing it with me.

Hey @pinksky.app, how does one go about reporting bugs?

I've flown many times with safety shears like the black handled ones in carry-on luggage, and know others who have as well.

Our ryokan doesn't have any exposed hashira or beams, but that didn't stop me and Oki from taking advantage of the setting.

Haha, I have a lot more, but sometimes a dozen or so is enough 😊

Hey @pinksky.app when I'm in # > Feeds > Following mode, why do I see posts from accounts that I'm not following?

Isn't the point of choosing Following that I only see accounts that I'm actually ... following?
