I am very pleased that this website has been created to perpetuate the teachings of my father, Yukimura Haruki.
I myself am a photographer and got my professional start at 19 when I saw my father tie.
I wanted to capture him on camera. I wanted to capture what he was doing.
For more than 20 years, until he passed away in March 2016, my father and I worked together, each inspiring the other to do better in his art.
He often spoke about how much it meant to him that people outside of Japan, too, found beauty and pleasure in his style of rope.
My father is no longer with us, but it is my wish, as I know it would be his, that his many friends and students carry on his teachings.
Please use this website to exchange information with other like-minded people so that Yukimura-ryu kinbaku may continue to evolve and spread around the world.

このたびは、雪村流のホームページがスタートするということで、大変嬉しく思っております。
私は19歳の頃から父（雪村春樹）の縛りの撮影を見て、その姿を写真に撮り始めました。
昨年の父の死去三ヶ月前まで、２０年に渡りお互いを刺激し合いながら、それぞれ表現者としての道を進んできました。
雪村流の縄は、日本のみならず、海外にも愛好家が多いことは、生前から父に聞いていました。
父が亡き後も、友人の方々や、生徒のみなさんが、情報を交換しながら、雪村流の緊縛がさらに広まっていくことを、こころより願っております。
