Welcome to the
Devil Mask Society
We are a group of kinbaku enthusiasts focused on education for the advancement of the art. We prioritize information based on primary source material and first-hand instruction.
The group was started in 2012 in Los Angeles, CA, but we now have members and friends spanning the globe.
As friends who share common interests, we are an anarchist rope collective with no formal leaders.
HoW we have grown
Growth and Presence
DMS has grown exponentially through our local class structure (the various Cells) and public events like the Devil Mask Society Rope Jam.
Our members attend and teach at national and international conferences and various local rope groups. See what we’re doing locally and where we’ll be next on our Calendar.
Local location
Studio
In January 2024, three of our members – Ordinals, Ojipan, and goodmosttimes – launched Devil Mask Studio. This is a dedicated shibari studio in the heart of historic Downtown Los Angeles – a space for rope education and community. Learn more at devilmaskstudio.com.
