The combination of rope and bamboo in shibari provides interesting opportunities.
In this lesson, we will consider three main areas of using bamboo:
— as part of a bond to strengthen it and, including, create an additional load-bearing structure;
— as a support for fixing in certain poses (analogue of blocks and struts);
— as a suspension point, allowing to solve spatial problems and create aesthetic poses.

Shibari uses a few simple knots.
This lesson is devoted to the main knots and methods of attaching the rope to the harness and to the suspension point.

I draw your attention to the fact that the options for knots for binding Single Column tie are discussed in detail in the corresponding lesson.
