Its range includes knot-free body wrapping, wrist and body-column ties, harnesses, futomomo thigh ties, and takate kote chest-and-arm binding. The book presents material for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced practitioners, placing specific techniques alongside discussion of the experience for both the person tying and the person being bound. It is a focused handbook on shibari as both a physical practice and a form of partner interaction.
