Overview
Matthias T.J. Grimme is a Hamburg, Germany based rope artist, publisher, teacher and performer. His rope technique has developed into a mixture of his own style and what he has picked up from Japanese kinbaku. His style is sometimes referred to as the Hamburg School. He has performed on the main stage of Boundcon (Munich, Germany) every year since its inception. He has traveled to Tokyo on several occasions and has performed live shows there. He may be one of the few Westerners to have met Keichi Osada before his death and has had contact with Steve Osada, Mai Randa, Denki Akechi and many other Japanese kinbaku practitioners. He lives with his wife of 20 years, Dana DeLuxe, and his longtime rope model, Nicole in Hamburg.
