Ana-tsurushi, also known simply as tsurushi, was a Japanese torture technique used in the 17th century to coerce Christians ("Kirishitan") to recant their faith. The victim was hung head-down by the feet. Both Japanese and Western Christians are known to have been subjected to the torture.

The technique was said to be unbearable for those submitted to it,
