There is a wonderful collection of Japanese Bondage tutorials on my blog. However it is important to know, that I am not a tutor, just a amateur that describes my own ties, how to tie them. There is many things about safety and performance that have to be tested and described later. That this blog rather as demonstration of my Japanese style ties then as educational web!
Japanese Bondage Tutorials/demonstrations of my ties
And its main purpose is to capture my own ties to learn them and evolve them for myself. And to encourage to make similar webs or to support beginners on using figurine to memorize ties before going on first real bondage session.
On the same site you can find a section that is devoted to anatomy. Study of anatomy (arteries, veins, nerves) can help you to understand vulnerable places on human body, that could be damaged with improper bondage techniques. Of sure with connection to your interest of bondage safety information.
Next site of mine shows some real Japanese bondage, Pseudo Shibari as tying that should be close to shibari as much as possible. These site is in my native language Czech:
Pseudo Shibari - as close as possible to Shibari
Note, that not all ties are correctly made and hence must not be as good example of practice! I hope, that I will repair my times by time as I will learn more.

Agony & Ecstasy resurrection
All stuff on this blog is from perished site called Agony & Ecstasy - Erotic spanking & punishments. www dot ecstagony dot com
This site can be made due to credit of http://web.archive.org
Where you can find original texts if you find address
Archive references (Jul 07 2008 ):
What is goal of this site?
Agony & Ecstasy was a good site with a serie of articles and tutorials about bondage etc. I want to republish this stuff for all who start with a bondage or want to improve basic knowledge about knots and so on.
You can involve
If you find some articles on archive, that would be good to republish. Let me know. I can give you rights as an editor. You just need to become Google and/or blogspot member.
Editors & translaters
I you want to be editors here, write your text or format it in MS Word, with Arial Font size 10 and then copy and place. That's all! Simple! There could rise new blogs like this, but now this blog is devoted to bondage. I also need some corrector. Translates can help translate a site on a new blog, but this is a tip: first make a content schema and then save all articles from the last (chapter 5) to the first (1.1) because the first edited post (5) will be the last. Create all articles at one day, or in one month, not two be in archive divided on two months.

1. Bondage safety: General considerations
Bondage is the name of the game of tying the other in different ways, leaving him/her at your mercy. It is a lot more dangerous than a simple spanking, as you will see.
We are not trying to scare you out of bondage with this publication. Being totally defenseless and in the hands of the other feels good. It is wonderful to have the other bound and at your mercy. We only want you to know the risks, and to be prepared, for avoiding problems.
As the German philosopher Michael Schumacher (the one with Ferrari) said, “Shit happens”. And it happens especially if you are not ready for it. Be aware that we can’t anticipate everything. A lot of things can go wrong that we have not mentioned here. So, be careful, keep it safe, sane and consensual, be ready to react fast if “shit happens”, and enjoy the game..
We will, then, talk about the risks of bondage, dividing them in:

* Never use alcohol or drugs when playing any BDSM game. They reduce the judgment, and make everything dangerous.
* Be sure that both of you are aware of the limits, have discussed and agreed on the rules of the scene, and know the hard limits (limits which, as the ones related to medical conditions, cannot be passed at all).
* Never let somebody bound without supervision. A bound person is defenseless, and is totally dependent on the top (of course, that's the fun of it). You are responsible for your partner if you have him/her bound.
* Don’t experiment when playing. The time for research is before or after the session. During it, use only techniques that you master and can safely manage.
* Never tie somebody for very long, half an hour to one hour at most. If using longer-term bondage, change positions regularly.
* Check periodically that the bindings do not interfere with blood circulation (cold, purple or numb limbs) or put undue pressure on soft tissue.
* Double check all the equipment you will use. Be sure that it is strong enough, that it is in good condition, and that you are familiar with its functioning, its possibilities and its shortcomings. You must know how to lock it, how to unlock it, how to use it and how to set it in position. And think about how to take it out fast, even with the locks or knots under tension, if you get in trouble.
* Have an alternative plan (the famous “plan B”) for releasing your sub if something goes wrong. Think about it in advance and be ready, and you will save yourself from having to think fast and under pressure, and your sub a lot of anguish (or worse).
* Be alert and check with your sub continually that there are no problems, that s/he is ok, and that everything is going as planned
Don´t trust in your dexterity. Have at hand appropriate scissors or EMT shears,
a serrated blade knife with a round point
and, when possible, use quick release hardware of the type that can be opened under tension. (Look for mountaineering or sailing equipment).
If you are using metal restraints, (chains, for instance) have also a hacksaw with a set of good quality blades and a bolt cutter in your safety bag. (But don’t think that you can cut thru police handcuffs, you’ll better find those %&$@ keys). And have the safety bag with the rescue implements at hand during the session. If “shit happens”, maybe you don’t have the time to look for it.
Most locks come with a set of two or more keys. Use one key for playing, and save another in a safe and known place. Before beginning the session, check that it is still there. Just in case, be sure that your sub also knows where the duplicate keys are.
Keep all locks and padlocks closed and open them just for the game, so you know that you have the keys, and that the lock is functioning.
As the old sailors used to say, hope for the best, but be ready for the worst.

2. Safety: Falling, fainting and other problems
Falling
A common accident is caused by the sub’s falling. This is a cause of many BDSM related injuries. If somebody falls with the hands bound, s/he cannot use them for softening the fall or protecting him/herself, nor use the arms for keeping balance. And if the feet are bound, it is easy to trip or lose balance. Be careful, don’t make or let him/her walk around or stand by him/herself when bound, or at least be ready to catch him/her if s/he falls. And don’t bind simultaneously hands and feet if your sub will be standing or walking.
Another way of falling is caused by equipment failure. An eyebolt on the ceiling gives, a rope breaks or a knot slips. If something like that happens, the sub will fall defenseless.
It is not necessary for the sub to be suspended for having an accident. If the bondage is what keeps the sub standing, kneeling, or whatever, a failure could hurt him/her.
That is another reason for not tying a person by the neck, even with no tension. If s/he falls, the sudden jerk could break his/her neck vertebrae or choke him/her.
Fainting
You could also fall when fainting. And it is easy to faint when your body is restrained, because of the difficulty in breathing (for instance, with your hands tied over your head or the trunk tightly bound or in a forced position), the reduced blood circulation and/or the long periods of immobility. Be ready for a fast release if you notice that your sub is fainting.Lack of food is another reason for fainting. Be sure that your sub is conveniently fed. (Some people prefer not to eat for several hours before a scene. That’s not right, as it is not right overeating immediately before the scene).
Blood circulation and nerves
Too tight a bondage, especially on wrists and ankles can restrict circulation. A long time without blood circulation will damage the tissue that is not properly fed. The sub will feel numbness or tingling on the hands or feet. After that, the limbs will look puffed, dark red or purple, and cold to the touch. The problem must be corrected immediately, by changing the tension or position of the bondage, or releasing the person. Too tight a bondage or bondage in inappropriate places can cause nerves’ pinching. It is felt as focused pain or as shooting pains. If it happens, release the sub immediately, because you are hurting him/her.
A good rule of thumb for being sure that the restraint is not too tight is testing that you can slide at least one finger between the restraint and the skin.
Cramps and joints pain
Restrained circulation, plus the tension on muscles, nerves and the joints caused by prolonged binding in a fixed or uncomfortable position will cause cramps. A cramp is caused by lactic acid accumulation in a muscle that cannot be properly drained by the restricted movement and circulation. The cramped muscle should be relaxed as soon as possible, for not causing permanent damage. After a long time in the same position, it will be very painful for the sub to move the joints that were immobilized. Many hours will restrict mobility for a long time, if not permanently.
Cramps and joint problems are the reasons for recommending changing positions regularly.
Actors who play characters with deformities (as Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame), that have to work many hours under restraints for maintaining their awkward positions, use to have physical therapists and trainers for massages and elongation work after every filming day. Do something similar.
