There is absolutely, positively, 100% ***no way in hell*** that immigration is going to approve a cultural activities visa for Shibari “studies”.
**EDIT:** Shibari may be “traditional”, but it’s also a sex thing. Sex work is one of the *very* hard lines immigration draws. And that’s not even a Japan thing. Pretty much no country on earth will issue visas for sex work.
Just come as a tourist for a couple months on a tourist visa and go to shibari exhibitions/classes. They might have some listed on FetLife.com in the Japan/Tokyo forums.
I met a guy who was studying at a nearby university and was also interested in Shibari and BDSM. He went to several classes in his free time, as well as munches and shows, etc.
