Tengu 天狗
Japanese for a long-nosed mountain goblin of folklore; tengu shibari, the demon tie, holds each wrist beside its own shoulder with the elbows down, a shape often compared to wings.
A tengu (天狗) is a red-faced, long-nosed creature that Japanese folklore places deep in the mountains (Jisho). In rope, SMpedia defines tengu shibari (天狗縛り) as a tie that fixes each wrist at the side of its own shoulder, and Rope365 adds that the elbows point down and gives the English name demon tie. Shibari Study, Andrea Ropes and SHIBAKU compare the folded arms to the wings of the tengu or of a demon. SMpedia lists amaenbo shibari and chicken wing as other names, notes that two hojōjutsu schools know a similar tie called tengu nawa (天狗縄), and names Fujita Seiko’s illustrated hojōjutsu book among its references. Rope365 records two Western offshoots: T-Rex, when the hands fall forward, and angel pose (tenshi), when the elbows are drawn further back.
