後手

Gote, Takate Kote, Ushiro Takate Kote, or simply TK, are the names we commonly use to refer to some of the most recognizable shibari ties—those harnesses that wrap around the torso with the arms behind the back, creating a distinctive shape.

Let's take a look at the meaning of the Japanese terms commonly used for these ties:

  • 後手 (gote) → "Hands behind the back"

  • 高手 (takate) → "Hands high" or "Elevated"

  • 小手 (kote) → "Forearm"

  • 後ろ高 (ushiro takate) → "Behind and high"
