  Notes:

  ¹ Normally I would translate “kinbaku” as “bondage” for an article like this. I have decided to keep “kinbaku” since it allows readers to see how the author uses words like “kinbaku” and “shibari.” However, this article uses the word “kinbaku” to refer to all types of bondage, so it might create the mistaken impression that hojojutsu/hobakujutsu is the same activity as erotic kinbaku/shibari or that there is a direct cause-and-effect evolution between them.

  ² Meiji period: 1868-1912
