		Here it is, the single biggest secret to Japanese style rope bondage -- no, it's not the beautiful girl (or guy.) It's the loop. Double your rope, creating a loop in the very center. If you're working with a 10m length, as we are here, this will give you a doubled piece of rope approximately 5m (about 15ft) to work with. This "knot" is often called a lark's head - though it really isn't unless you then pass the working end(s) through the bight (the looped part) after it's been passed through a ring, or around a pole. Think of luggage tags, and you get the picture.
