Now Viewing: prostration

Tag type: General

The act of bowing/kneeling face down on all_fours, usually as a sign of worship, submission, or deep apology.

One form of prostration is the dogeza, an element of traditional Japanese etiquette. The form has one kneeling directly on the ground and bowing to prostrate oneself until one's head touches the floor in order to show deference to a greatly revered high-class person, as a deep apology, or to express the desire for a favor from said person.

There is also the naked dogeza where in which a nude character is doing dogeza with their folded clothes neatly ordered next to them, as an extreme show of degradation/humiliation and subservience. Not necessarily sexual, but usually is.
