Diamond shibari pattern with takate kote.
In this video tutorial, we study the chest harness in which Box ties are combined with characteristic parallel girths of rope above and below the chest and a diamond-shaped pattern called “hishi”. As part of the course, this is the first and easiest shibari scheme using this pattern. Here, the methods of linking the classic Box tie with the addition of a rhombic pattern will be fixed. The pattern with the elements of the rhombus by the Japanese is called Hishi (diamond), since it is similar to the crystal shape of this precious mineral.

Beautiful chest harness with diamond pattern.
Another combination of chest harness with hands tied behind the back and a diamond pattern (heshi). The pattern with the elements of the rhombus by the Japanese is called Hishi (diamond), since it is similar to the crystal shape of this precious mineral. It also looks like the leaf shape of a water chestnut plant. Sometimes this form of the pattern is called “fish”, because it resembles scales. In this lesson we will look at another commonly used approach to creating a hishi shibari scheme – through the cross nodes and the body girths of the “drawing” rope. This scheme can be used to bind the hips or bent legs or completely “dress” the model in “scales”. This lesson is interesting in that we immediately get a working Box tie (Gote shibari).
