Japanese: 三点吊り
Santen (三点): Three
Tsuri (吊り): Hanging

Suspended from the takatekote, then suspended by the ankles, with the ankles in front.

Different explanations exist for this tie:

1) San means three, this refers to the number of suspension lines (1 for the gote, 2 for the ankles).
2) Santen means “mountain top”, the model resembles the mountain peaks.
