Topic: Rope harness tag?

Thanks!

That's not correct replacement. Should be

shibari -> rope_bondage (western term)
kinbaku -> rope_bondage (asian term, they don't use term shibari, which just means "to tie". Instead it's a "tight binding","skill of knots")

rope_harness would be implicating harness and rope_bondage, if to follow logic of current state of business.

But shibari is _any_ kind of bondage involving _only_ ropes (nothing else used aside of fixtures and rope). The association breaks many images which involves shibari without a harness.

Ironic, from standpoint of comments above, term "shibari" was invented by english speaking people. Mostly because names of some "rope dresses" (not mistake them with harnesses) are ending on word shibari. And question "What do you do?" gets answer "Shibari" (I tie)

And.. rope dress is also shibari, but it's not bondage. The pictures in beginning of thread display rope dress. It's just a decorative wearable. How to treat that? I agree to call it rope harness, because it looks like hardware harnesses, but they aren't usable that way. There are rope harnesses which are harnesses. Not all of them are body harnesses, many wrap only hips or hips and pelvis.
