Takate Kote (TK) Box Tie

  • Iridescent Studio 1B Doctor Jan van Breemenstraat Amsterdam, NH, 1056 AB Netherlands (map)

This is a fundamental harness in Japanese rope bondage. It is not only aesthetically beautiful, but it is also very versatile.

As this harness secures the arms behind the back of our rope partners, it serves as the foundation for a many ties and shapes in our practice.

During this workshop Papi will teach how to create a 2 ropes TK, emphasising on our partners needs, in order to have not only a safe structure, but also sustainable for them.

We wil explore options to create a harness for different body tipes.
