Yet another method of tying karada or more precise kikkou (see terms and translation here).

Though, this one does look similar to these ones there are differences like hooking the ropes on the back and absence of the knots in the front. The pictured method will give you much tighter feeling in the crotch (try it with your favourite butt-plug in place ;-) ).

While the drawings are self-explanatory, I would greatly appreciate if someone could translate the Chinese text.

Here’s another tutorial on karada. The instructions for the previous one are in Chinese (still not translated, by the way, if you speak Chinese, please help), for this one in Japanese (please? ;-).

What is different? Let’s go step by step.

This photo does not fit the subject of the previous post, so let’s make it separate. Dasha Zhukova and kikkou (also known as karada) rope harness.

The interesting thing is how small details change the accent. Loosely tied rope harness is a decorative element, a bit tighter and it becomes a highly erotic attribute. Kova & T (or look alike) “latex” leggings is a usual piece of clothes, but if you make them out of latex (even unpolished) that will be another story.

There are many ways to tie a karada (see here). On this video (made by yosinomi) you can see another method not covered in the Technique section. The idea is, of course, the same. I can’t agree with how the bottom part is fixed (I would prefer my way), though.

Please note that Yosinomi does not make any knots until the very last step. I would call it a pure Japanese way – no knots.

BTW, what is the best word to use for tying a karada? Tie? Bind? Weave? Plait? Make?
