Japanese Pearl Harness

This piece is our modification of a traditional Shibari-style
Japanese chest harness. Usually this harness would wrap
around the arms as well as the chest, but we like to save
binding the arms for after the torso piece is complete. This
style is named “Pearl” because the pinching of the breasts
between the ropes resembles a pair of pearls. If you find
before you a pair of pearls as perfect as these, you’d be
quite the lucky one indeed!
