# Jutsu (術)

It means “method” or “technique”.

 It is also translated as “art”, in the sense of “arts and crafts”.

 In the study of shibari we use it to refer to techniques in general; for example, *taijutsu* designates the techniques whose field of application is the human body.

 In Japanese, the concept carries the sense of old techniques whose efficiency has been duly proven over the years.
