   adding your list;

   “comike” is “comic market”, at Big Sight, Ariake, Tokyo. They open two times in an year, summer and winter, last week of August and December.

   “doujinsi” is a comic that made by amatures or coteries, and you can buy its in “comike”.

   “zentai” as “spandex catsuit”. Catsuits made by latex or rubber, but its made by spandex in Japan.

   “kinbaku” is bondage, using A rope only. Rope master is called “nawa-si”. “nawa” means a rope, “si” means person.

   “hentai” is a noun or an ajective or a pronoun.
   “hentai manga” as “erotic comic”,
   “hentai eiga” as “abnormal movie”, and
   “hentai” as “abnormal person”.
   If you use this word only, when you point an abnormal person. In Japan, Japanese use this word as pronoun mostly.

   Thanks much! Will update the table!

   Some questions.

   You are saying that
   “kinbaku” is bondage, using a rope only.

   What is the differense between “kinbaku” and “nawa-shibari”, then? Or they can be used as synonyms?

   I notice that “縛” is used in all words related to bondage (kinbaku, shibari)

   Do I understand correctly, that 縛り is shibari in kanji?

   I’m close to beginning to learn Japanese…

   So, they CANNOT be used as synonyms.

   “rope tying” as “Shibari (縛り)” only.
   “縛る (shibaru)” is verb, means “bind with rope”,
   “縛り (shibari)” is noun, already contains a meaning that “with rope”.
   You don’t have to say “rope (nawa)” again.

   Exsamples,
   If you see Japanese-style bound women (or an woman), then;
   incorrect: “It’s beautiful KINBAKU.”
   correct: “It’s beautiful SHIBARI.”

   If you buy some videos in Japan, then;
   incorrect: “SHIBARI-mono, please.”
   correct: “KINBAKU-mono, please.”

   (“-mono” is a suffix.
   “jukujo-mono (熟女-モノ)” means genre of matures and MILFs,
   “joshikousei-mono (女子高生-モノ)” meas genre of school girls,
   “kosupure-mono (コスプレ-モノ)” means genre of costume play, and
   “kancho-mono (浣腸-モノ)” means genre of enema, etc.)

   Or rope methods;
   incorrect: “kikkou-KINBAKU.”
   correct: “kikkou-SHIBARI”
   (kikkou” is turtle’s shell. kikkou-shibari: http://www.sexoteric.com/pic/nl/artpic/18/146/rm20030928-4853.jpg)

   Japanese is difficult for the Japanese…

   mistake…
   please read this before…

   Most Japanese use “kinbaku” as a genre name,
   and Japanese language DON’T have a term that “nawa-shibari”.

   Aha, I’m beginning to understand!
   More questions ;-)

   Terms kikkou and karada. If “kikkou” is a turtle-shell, what is “karada”? Just a collective name for such “bindings”?

   What is the pronunciation of 自縛 ? jibaku?

   So, the term nawa-shibari was invented by the non-japanese, right? And now it’s incorrectly used just like hentai (e.g. http://www.nawashibari.com).

   Many-many thanks!

   1. karada
   No. “karada (体)” is the body and the freash.
   “karada” is an incollective name for such “bindings”.
   “bindings” is “縛り” and “緊縛”.

   2. 自縛
   Yes. the pronunciation of “自縛” is “jibaku”.

   3. nawa-shibari
   Right. The term was invented by the non-japanese.

   “Nawa-shibari” like as “My head has headache.” in English… Maybe.

    Another question!
    What is the difference between 方, 法 and 方法?
    For example: 自縛方法 or 自縛方? And why not 自縛法?
    Thanks!

    the differences are:
    “方法” as methods contain pysically moves, some rules, and ways.
    “法” as the law.
    “方” as direction, or working person.

    correct: “自縛方法” as the binding methods.
    correct?: “自縛法” sounds like as “the law of the bondage”. Most Japanese DON’T use this term.
    incorrect: “自縛方”

    Japanese has the word “土方 (do-kata)”, as “construction workers” or “navvies”. In this word, “kata (方)” be used to “a person”.

    The pronunciation of 方法 is “houhou”, right?
    I have changed the table to:

    shibari-houhou 縛り方法
    jibaku-houhou 自縛方法

    Changing the subject a bit.

    How do you write (and pronounce ;-) zentai, pantyhose (or tights), stockings and swimsuit?

    Thanks again!

    1. 方法
    Your pronouciation is right.

    2. 縛り方法
    I’d have mistake…

    “-方 (-kata)” contain meaning that “method”, too.
    so,
    incorrect: “縛り方法”
    correct: “縛り方 (shibari-kata)”
    sorry.

    “走る (hasiru)” is running, and “走行 (soukou)” is running, too.
    but,

    correct: “走り方 (hasiri-kata)”
    incorrect: “走り方法 (hasiri-houhou)”

    correct: “走行方法 (soukou-houhou)”
    incorrect: “走行方 (souhou-kata)”

    So, “方 (-kata)” isn’t connected after two kanjis idiom.
    “方法 (houhou)” can connected after two kanjis idiom.

    3. pronouciation and writing in Japanese
    zentai: zensin taitsu (zensin tights), 全身タイツ
    pantyhose: pansuto, パンスト (panty stocking)
    stockings: (same as English)
    swimsuit: 水着, mizugi

    -.
    I have a question.
    What time is “1210.04 am”?
    I can’t read “1210.04 am”, so please teach me.

    OK, I have updated the table, but is 自縛方法 correct? Since jibaku consists of two kanji hieroglyphs, 方法 should be used, right?

    About that weird time you mentioned. To be honest, I don’t know what is wrong with the settings of my blog. This is definitely a bug somewhere.
