Chibi Shijuuhatte The 48 Styles

The Moon in the Window

The Plover's Song I have no idea why this would be called "the plover's song." If it's any help, the word for "plover" is the same as "1000 birds," and the word I called "song" can also mean "bend" or "flexure."

Without Knowing Right from Wrong The guy ties the girl up and then goes to town.

Hoisting

The Daruma-Gaeshi A women's hairstyle, where the bangs are first pulled back over the top of the head and then folded forward and held in place with hairpins.

100 Closures No idea why ordinary cowgirl would be called "100 Closures."

Cuddling The standard description of this act is "Girl lays down, guy snuggles aside her and goes to town massaging her."

The Closed Crotch The only difference between this and Shigarami (2 up, 1 right) is that the guy is lifting himself off of the girl here.

The Elongated Tea Grinder See the essay I wrote in "Shigure-Cha-Usu" (3 up, 5 right) for the explanation.

The Butsudan Reversal A sumo wrestling move. A "Butsudan" is a Buddhist altar for one's household.

Wild Goose's Neck

Drizzle in a Tea Grinder What I called a "tea grinder" is actually a "cha-usu," a grinder with a very specific make, shown with a cutaway diagram at the bottom of this page. The lower half has a shaft of wood sticking up out of it, and the detachable upper half has a hole in the middle that you thread through the shaft. You pour tea leaves into the space between the shaft and hole, and then twist and rock the upper half to grind them. You can now do the math as to why this position is called "Drizzle in a Cha-usu."

Naruto Naruto is a kind of fish cake with a spiral pattern often served in ramen. (The girl is supposed to move her hips in a circle.)

The Kiku-Ichimonji A kind of chrysanthemum, bred to have large flowers with 16 petals. (It is also a kind of sword.)

The Standing Flower Crest

The Sailing Tea Grinder See the essay I wrote for "Shigure-Cha-Usu" (4 up, 1 right).

Horseback Archery The only difference between this and "Shigure-Cha-Usu" (5 up, 1 right) is the rope here.

The Grey Starling

Embracing Jizo Jizo is a Japanese god who is usually depicted as a seated Buddhist monk.

The Fence The Japanese is written incorrectly. It should be "柵." The Romanization is correct, though. The only difference between this and Shime-Komata (2 down, 1 left) is that the guy is lying on the girl here.
