Kikkou Shibari Bondage How-to

Those interested in the ancient and thrilling Japanese art of tying up ladies in erotic and uncomfortable positions will doubtless want to familiarise themselves with the contents of these helpful diagrams (the one below is seemingly something of a classic), illustrating the proper technique involved in the 亀甲 / kikkou, or “tortoise shell”, tie.

Novice practitioners should be aware that care is required in leaving people tightly bound for long periods of time, lest their circulation be impaired, but for those with some experience this is not a problem.

Those who would instead rather just salivate over the prospect of artfully tied ladies, or who do not have ready access to a subject, may wish to contetn themselves with the pre-tied selection on offer in the shibari gallery or on the Channel.
