Rope for kinbaku...
...is made from natural fibers that are fairly inelastic, making it hard for knots and frictions to tighten too much under tension. The most common natural fiber used in Japan is jute.. Jute rope sold for kinbaku is more expensive than jute rope found in your local hardware store because it has gone through a thorough preparation process, which usually includes JBO removal, treatment, softening, and testing.
