Drachenmann, (1953 - )

Matthias Grimme

Drachenmann, aka 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 learned from Japanese kinbaku after several trips to Japan. His style has come to be labeled the Hamburg School. He has performed on the main stage of Boundcon (Munich, Germany) since its inception and has performed live shows in Tokyo. He may be one of the few Westerners to have met Eikichi Osada before the latter's death and has had contact with Steve Osada, Mai Randa, Denki Akechi and many other Japanese kinbaku practitioners. He lives with his wife since 22 years, Dana DeLuxe, and his longtime rope model, Nicole, in Hamburg.
