Aijō – Aijō – Your place to discover and learn about bondage

Shana and Jack, the owner of Aijo

Shana & Jack are Aijō

Aijō (affection, loving feelings) stands for the subtle art of rope – inspired by Japanese traditions such as Osada-Ryū, our work combines aesthetics, technique, and expressiveness. Whether in private lessons, workshops, shows, or photo shoots: we open up the world of shibari, kinbaku, and bondage with heart, clarity, and passion. With expertise and empathy, we accompany you—whether you are a beginner or want to deepen your bondage technique. Welcome to Aijō – where rope is more than just a tool.

Shana & Jack are the people behind this name. Here you can gain an insight into their history, their experiences and what makes them tick. Learn more about their shared journey, their passion and their work.

Air-conditioned rooms – beating the heat

Just in time for the current heat, our dojo is now air-conditioned. You can tie, learn and train at a comfortable room temperature, even on hot summer days.

Aijō was represented at Obscene 2026 in Karlsruhe with Shibari workshops, Rope Experience, and a show on the main stage. An intense weekend full of rope art, encounters, and shared passion.

Aijō was asked by Nawaland if Jack would photographically accompany a session in their dojo. Of course, we agreed immediately and you can see the pictures in the report.

Aijō Keiko

Practise and learn together

Keiko means training, practice and continuous learning. At Aijō Keiko, the group explores changing topics from Shibari, bondage, tying techniques and body mechanics.

From soft to hard

In this training, we start the tie loosely and continuously increase the tension as it progresses. The increased pressure should not be limited to individual areas: by the end, the entire tie should have become noticeably tighter.

Date
Requirements

Safe rope handling and mastery of direction changes and half hitches.
