Hakodome 箱留め
A box-shaped friction that locks the stem of a tie where it crosses a horizontal wrap; Shibari Study equates it with the half-moon friction, Andrea Ropes with the double half-moon.
Shibari Study’s glossary writes hakodome as 箱留め and derives it from the words for box and clasp. It describes a friction that secures the plus-shaped junction where a horizontal wrap crosses the upright stem, often in the lower wraps of a gote, and gives half-moon friction as the English name. Andrea Ropes also describes a box-shaped friction but says the term generally refers to the double half-moon friction, so the two glossaries differ on exactly which variant the name covers.
