HAJIME KINOKO

 

Rope artist, contemporary performer, bondage master, photographer. Nature, mother Earth, creativity, heart and mind, mother, friends, the things we like, and then our DNA memory. All the things around us are interconnected and interrelated. Our instincts and inner memories resuscitate by means of a single thread, as they bloom through the fate of one single red rope.

Hajime Kinoko’s achievements. Born on October 22, 1977, blood type B. Domiciled in “Shibatta-city” (which when pronounced in Japanese also means “tied”), 4-6 Shibatta, in the “Minami” district of Nagoya, he attended the “Aoi-nawa” (which in Japanese also means “blue rope”) kindergarten, and graduated from the Tokai municipal “Nawa” (“rope”) elementary school. His obvious destiny was extensively connected to ropes from an early age and were some of the very first confirmations inviting him to become the worldwide renowned rope specialist he is today.

His activities focus on installations using ropes, photographic works, and show performance “The bond between all things” is revealed and expressed through the use of ropes and threads, strings and installations, and photographic works.

Kinoko frequently undertakes projects such as interior decoration and event venue preparation, picture production, and also creates artistic objects.
