Tengu Harness

GO TO TAM’S TENGU HARNESS GUIDE In this class, Tamandua teaches his variation of the Tengu with his model Mie Neko. The Tengu (or “demon” tie) is a versatile modern Shibari harness, the position of which is inspired by the wings of the Tengu, mythological creatures featuring large wings. Though the chest-opening position created by the Tengu accentuates vulnerability and exposure of the front body, it is, in fact, a very stable and sustainable tie that doesn’t require too much flexibility from the model and is suitable for all body types. This harness is also perfectly suspendable, meaning that it can be utilized as an alternative to a TK, show definition, if they are not suited to your partner or if you'd like to try a different shape. This harness can be loaded from the front or back as demonstrated in the suspension video. The harness alone is a suitable tie for intermediate level riggers, show definition, though using it for suspension is only advised for advanced practitioners. Tamandua also demonstrates another version of the Tengu for floor-play using bamboo in his series 'Semenawa Bamboo Ties'. * Captions available for this series: English
