# Nawa Hoshi (繩奉仕)

It means “rope service”.

 This concept, used by disciples of Yukimura Haruki, refers to the way the person tying puts themselves “at the service” of the person being tied.

 It works in the opposite way to the tea ceremony, in which the host serves the guests while they remain in an uncomfortable posture.
