We are excited to introduce HASHIRA 6/0 Tough – a new, exceptionally robust rope in the AMATSUNAWA collection! This durable 6 mm jute rope has been specifically engineered for demanding structural applications and sets new standards in terms of resilience and performance.

HASHIRA 6/0 is a hard‑lay, perfectly balanced 3‑strand rope made from high‑quality, single‑ply, bleached Grade‑1 Tossa jute yarn. Its very smooth surface, minimal fibre loss, and firm lay make this rope an excellent choice for intensive use. It has a unique, delicate light‑gold colour and a very subtle, natural grassy scent.

Available Lengths & Diameter
Available exclusively in a 6 mm diameter:

  • MAXI Spool – 280 m (guaranteed)
  • MIDI Spool – 90 m (guaranteed)

Engineered for Strength, Stability & Endurance
HASHIRA 6/0 has been specifically designed for structural projects where maximum stability is essential, including:

  • uplines through carabiners
  • bamboo spars
  • wooden beams
  • structural installations

HASHIRA 6/0 can be used on the body, but it is noticeably firmer than the other jute ropes in our collection.

Natural, resilient, biodegradable
HASHIRA 6/0 is a JBO‑free, Z‑twist, hard‑lay jute rope with a breaking load of 190 daN – strong, reliable, and fully biodegradable.

Conditioning
Due to its extremely dense fibre structure, this rope requires a longer conditioning time of 4+ hours in the tumble dryer. Every order includes detailed, step‑by‑step instructions to help you achieve optimal results. You can also read up on these conditioning instructions here.

JBO‑FREE – SKIN‑FRIENDLY – BIODEGRADABLE

At AMATSUNAWA, it is our goal to provide you with a wide range of exceptional ropes tailored to the needs of the Shibari community. With HASHIRA 6/0, we proudly continue to expand our portfolio. We wish you many beautiful experiences with our ropes.

*Disclaimer regarding breaking load:

The stated breaking load is a reference value based on a tested section of the product. As jute is a natural material, it is subject to variations in structure and strength. Therefore, the breaking load cannot be guaranteed for the entire product. Differences in fiber alignment, density, and processing may result in varying load-bearing capacities across different sections.

AMATSUNAWA Rope Butters:

250 g / 8.8 oz rope butter for the care and conditioning of natural jute ropes, traditional proven recipe
250 g / 8.8 oz traditional rope butter for the ongoing care and conditioning of jute ropes for bondage, Shibari and Kinbaku. Our rope butter is handmade by us. This recipe has been used by us for many years and is a balanced mixture of Jojoba oil and beeswax. It comes in a practical plastic jar with screw cap lid that contains a generous 250 g / 8.8 oz of rope butter. You will also receive a booklet with tested instructions on how to apply this butter during the conditioning process to your ropes. So, you have easy-to-follow step by step instructions to achieve the best possible results and end up with amazing ropes. The feel of a rope is crucial. Conditioning also improves the handling of the rope, reduces wear, and tends to reduce fibre loss. It also gives a lovely patina to the rope. The rope butter can be worked into a rope whenever needed e.g. after extensive use, or if it becomes dry. Dosage: For conditioning an 8m rope, we recommend using approximately 3g of butter (about a hazelnut-sized amount). 250 g of rope butter is therefore sufficient to condition roughly 80 pieces of 8m jute rope. Care well for your ropes and enjoy them for longer! Further detailed product safety and usage guidelines for our products can be found here.

Compared to the traditional rope butter with beeswax, the vegan rope butter gives your rope significantly more shine than the rope butter with beeswax, whose finish is fairly matte.
