Lilythothealley or Rata Shibari is a Thai Shibari (Japanese bondage tying) artist based in Bangkok, born in 2000. She began learning on her own in 2020 through online channels and started serious study under the guidance of Unnamedminor (Minor - Petcharada) in 2022. She then gained experience by following Destroy Angel Bondage at various events and learned through group workshops with instructors from abroad, including CO, Laodai, Kasumi Hourai, Shiho Shinomiya, Murasaki (Yukimura-Ryu), and Seattle Shibari.
She made her first Shibari performance in 2023 and began teaching Shibari for beginners in 2024. In late 2024, she organized her first event called Nightmare Before Christmas: Shibari Workshop and Performance.
Her work is featured in FOR YOUR PLEASURE: Shibari Photo Exhibition 2025 at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.
Rata’s rope style is defined by oppressive tension and dominant structure, emphasizing physical control and psychological pressure. Each tie prioritises force, restriction, and confrontation, creating a visual language that is raw, deliberate, and intensely physical. The rope becomes a tool of power, shaping a dynamic that reflects cruelty, authority, and primal dominance.
Lilyth’s rope style expresses ceremonial elegance and calculated restraint. The approach favours refined composition, slow precision, and aesthetic harmony, where rope functions as both adornment and instrument of ritual. Each tie evokes devotion and theatrical grace, reinforcing a presence that is regal, seductive, and darkly divine.
