A form of Japanese Rope Bondage.

Kote kote shibari (Wrist wrist tie) - The wrist to wrist tie.

The purpose of this simple rope bondage is to restrict movement of the arms by tying the wrists.

The usual form is where both arms are placed behind the back, with elbows bent, so that the two wrists are in line, with one hand to the left, and one two the right. The wrists are then bound together with several turns of rope. Since the blood vessels are very near the surface here, regular checks should be made that the circulation is ok.

Once the wrists have been tied together, they can be tied up, to the back of a shinju or karada pattern, so that the forearms are parallel with the floor.

This can be very restrictive if tied to a shinju which has been tied around the arms as well as the body.
