@BondcordStore Thank you!

@SeattleShibari Love seeing rope education like this.

言いたいことが言える受け手が もっと増えたらいいなと思う 言いたいことっていうのは 決してわがままや文句等ではなく 縄を受けている最中や終わったあとに わかりやすいフィードバックが出来る ということ 緊縛事故を防止するためにも とても大事ですが それだけではなくて 同じ相手と縄をしても毎回同じわけじゃないし、縛りの内容が変わることも多い どこに負担がかかっているのか どのくらいの負担なのか もちろん痺れているのか否かも 我慢するのが性癖な人が多いので 仕方ない部分もあるのかもですが きちんと伝えることが 未来の縄時間をより良いものに変えていくはず #緊縛 #受け手

@ayame_iwata For example, the word ‘automobile.’ Fluent English speakers know that you contract it down to ‘auto’ rather than ‘mobile.’ In Japanese, if I say 特練 instead of 特別練習, native speakers understand me based on context. Language is so interesting 🤔

@SeattleShibari Yes yes, ‘gote’ is ok! But have you ever people use ‘futo’ or ‘futomomo’ in Japan recently? Maybe I just don’t know

”futo”って言ってもたぶんほとんどの日本人の人は？？？ってなりますよね🤔

@ayame_iwata I never hear anyone but Westerners use ‘Futo.’ If my students ever say it, I correct them. I don’t recall whether I’ve heard Japanese always add ‘shibari’ after. I suppose that knowing when you can contract a term down appropriately is due to cultural norms etc 1/2

@ayame_iwata Still, when in Japan I regularly hear people contract the term ‘gote shibari’ down to ‘gote,’ because both people understand the context…

@SeattleShibari Ahah but I’m afraid they don’t get futomomo neither🙂 Futomomo is the tight🦵

@ayame_iwata もし私のワークショップを「後手縛り」という言葉を使って宣伝したら、多くのアメリカ人はその言葉の意味が分からないかもしれません。 😅

あと海外勢はTKが日本で伝わらないことにショックを受けるらしいです。ちょっと可愛い☺️今は結構通じるよ。
