More about 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.
Jack the Rigger and Shana have been a well-coordinated bondage team since 2009, setting standards both on stage and in education. Over many years, they shaped Secret56 together and were a core part of the Seilschaften team for 15 years.
In mid-2026, the two left Secret56 and decided to open their own small bondage school. Aijō was born.
The team
JackTheRigger
(he/him)Teacher, Founder
Jack discovered his passion for bondage in 2008. As a co-founder of Secret56 and a certified Osada-Ryū instructor (since 2022), he teaches in-depth technical knowledge from Osada Ryu and Yukimura Ryu. His many years of work as a photographer expand his perspective on aesthetics, bodywork, and staging – an added value reflected in workshops as well as in shoots for riggers, models, and photographers.
Shana
(they/them)Teacher, Founder
Shana discovered the scene in 2009 through Jack and quickly developed into an expressive bondage partner and impressive stage performer. Her extensive experience as a model, her keen sense of dynamics, emotion, and safety, as well as her presence in the ropes, have a decisive influence on their collaborative work. Together, Jack and Shana are known for technically precise, playful, and emotional bondage shows both at home and abroad, as well as for lively, hands-on knowledge transfer. In mid-2
