Wooden Pony (Japanese Horse)
by MorTis

A Japanese Horse was a torture device used in the Edo period of Japan. A victim was tied up and placed sitting on a Japanese horse, so that extreme amount of pain was placed on the genitals and anus. The horse was made of 2 panels of wood and 4 legs and the victim was placed on top, straddling it. The blanks of wood that were sat on, were not long enough to go down to the knees so that the victim had no ability to be able to use their legs strength to keep pressure off their crotch. And the legs were longer then the victims so the victim could not place their feet on the ground to stand up. The arms were tied behind their back hojojustu style, and tied up to a beam so the victim could not fall off.

A modern day version of the Japanese Horse is used for BDSM, which its just two planks, or Japanese tea chairs, put together, so that the victims feet or knees can reach the floor, so the pain is not as extreme as in the traditional version.
