# Hikedame (ひかけだめ)

*Hikedame* (ひかけだめ), also read as *hikakedame*, is a quick, simple knot for gathering the rope so that it can be released easily with a single pull or movement.

 It is usually a knot that comes undone if we pull along the length of the ropes, but stays locked if the forces act transversely.

 Literally, it means: “Don't hang it!”.
