Teppo and Wakizarashi shape
In this lesson, we will fix the skill of linking the simplest shibari patterns using a combination of basic patterns. Teppo is a harness in which one arm is laid behind the back from above and the other from below. A diagonal is formed behind the back, resembling a weapon placed behind the back. Teppo – in Japanese means a gun. Wakizarashi means arms folded behind the head. In Europe, this position is called the “rabbit” (bunny).

Using bamboo in shibari

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.
Let’s start the lesson by looking at two basic ways to attach bamboo to the human body.
