Edo period 江戸時代
The era of Tokugawa shogunate rule in Japan, from about 1603 to 1867–68, when binding arrested people was a police skill and kabuki and ukiyo-e flourished.
The Edo period is named after Edo, the seat of the Tokugawa shoguns and today’s Tokyo, and is also called the Tokugawa period. Japanese dictionaries start it in 1603, when Tokugawa Ieyasu became shogun, or with his victory at Sekigahara in 1600, and end it in 1867, when Tokugawa Yoshinobu returned power to the court; English Wikipedia closes it with the Meiji Restoration of 1868. A commoner culture of kabuki theater and ukiyo-e prints grew in the cities.
In rope history it is the age of police binding. Kotobank describes dōshin officers practicing the arrest rope (hayanawa) and the longer honnawa used once a charge was settled. English Wikipedia’s article on Japanese bondage dates its first appearance as an erotic practice to the late Edo period. More in Hojōjutsu: rope and the law in Edo Japan.
