Kariudo 猟人

Japanese for hunter; kariudo shibari, the hunter's tie, is another name for teppō shibari, the asymmetric tie with one arm bent over the shoulder and the other behind the back.

Kariudo (猟人, also written 狩人) means hunter (Jisho). Shibari Study, Andrea Ropes and SHIBAKU all give kariudo shibari as another name for teppō shibari (Shibari Study writes it 猟人縛り), the rifle tie: an asymmetric arm tie in which one arm bends up over the shoulder and the other bends behind the back, the two tied together. Andrea Ropes links the arm position to a rifle carried over the shoulder, the image behind the name teppō. The name kariudo appears in these practitioner glossaries; Japanese Wikipedia’s tie list and Kinbakuwiki’s teppō entry describe the tie under teppō alone.
