Maete 前手
Japanese for hands in front; maete is the counterpart of gote in tie names, and maete shibari binds both hands or arms in front of the body.
Maete (前手) marks hands placed at the front of the body. SMpedia treats it as a building block of tie names, as in maete shibari or maete hiji shibari, with gote, hands behind, as its opposite. The Shibaraku school defines maete shibari (前手縛り) as tying with both hands in front of the body, Shibari Study places the hands on the chest, and Shibari Mallorca describes the arms bound in front. SMpedia lists a 1980 Bessatsu SM Fan lesson by Roppongi Kaoru whose title presents maete shibari as the place where rope play begins. Kinbakuwiki, after Harukumo, describes maete hikiage shibari, a warm-up in which the bound wrists are raised through a suspension point as an exercise in communication.
