Fetish BDSM art leather flogger whip, handmade shibari style, no glue. Mitsubachi, the Honeybee: perfectly balanced, 77 black and gold tails

$177.00

Mitsubachi, the Honey Bee, is a new flogger of the Tatsumaki class.

As in all Tatsumaki, the handle is made of real leather panels wrapped around two bamboo canes, assembled using just leather cord bindings. The internal design has evolved to improve the already great Tatsumaki features and provide the absolute best handling comfort.

It's as beautiful inside as it is outside. See my updates for pictures of the handle construction.

The handle feels great, it's strong but has a softness that that can only be achieved by using multiple layers of real leather. The twin bamboo canes design creates an almost oval section that strongly enhances grip and handling. The flogger is perfectly balanced, with its barycenter 5cm (2in) from the top of the handle.

The 77 tails are made from 2mm (.079in) black and gold round leather cord, wrapped and fixed around the bamboo core using just a lambskin leather strip and cowhide leather cord.

The total length of the tails, including the part inside the handle, is approx. 54m (177ft).

My production follows a simple philosophy: to feel natural in your hands, a flogger has to be natural inside out. So: no glue, no plastic, no metal of any sort. Moreover, as an homage to the Japanese Shinto philosophy, that teaches that objects too can have a soul, I don't make cuts nor punch holes in my leather panels.

The result is a flogger that is not a soulless device, but an extension of your body.

The mid-air music of the 77 tails is absolutely electrifying. The sheer weight of the tails, along with the round section of every single tail, produces a blow that hits with a great mix of thud and sting.

I'm sure you'll enjoy owning and using this flogger as much as I loved dreaming, designing and making it.
