Analyses
Gote means the status that wrists are in one's back. Takate is old word standing the portion of upper arm. This word can be also interrupted to represent high position of arms. Kote means a wrist.
USAGE1: Shibari that binds wrists in one's back, and rope is laid upper and blow of breast where upper arms are fixed (see figure). The wrists are not necessary in high position.
USAGE2: When Takate is interrupted as high position, the wrists must be at high position. In this case, Gote Shibari (or Ushirote Shibari) is used to represent the status in which the wrists are no in high position.
USAGE3: For most shibari in ancient Hojojutsu, Takate, Kote and Neck are key positions that must be tied. In this sense, they can be belonged to Gote Takatekote (see for instance, Tsujimura's early shibari). They don't necessarily contain chest harness ropes. However, it is not clear whether the word "Gote Takatekote" existed in ancient ages or not (probably not). It could be a new word invented in 50's - 70's. The word "Takatekote" can be seen (at least) in the writing on 1923, but we are not sure whether it represents Hojojutsu style or modern style. Modern style Shibari with chest harness appeared in arts on 1888 (Meiji era). It is highly possible that people in this ages enjoyed modern style Gote Takatekote in Kabuki plays (it is not clear that how it was called, though). Police in Edo era (17c ｰ19c) didn't use chest harness (with limited exemptions).
