Welcome to Shibari Sanctum
Shibari (縛り) is a Japanese word that broadly means “binding” or “tying” in most contexts, but is used in BDSM to refer to this style of decorative bondage.
Sanctum (sanc·tum | ˈsaŋ(k)-təm) A place set apart, as with a sanctum sanctorum; a sacred or private place; a private retreat or workroom.
Shibari Sanctum is our escape from the mundanity to express ourselves in the form of Japanese inspired rope bondage. Join us on our journey through the exploration of rope, eroticism and connection

Who We Are
We, Mo (he/him) and Pixie (she/her), are married Rope Artists based in the UK, exploring our shared love for the art of Japanese inspired rope bondage, also known as Shibari/Kinbaku. Our rope journey started back in 2016 after finding ourselves in awe at some beautiful Shibari art online and has progressed to producing our own style of rope photography, constantly learning and evolving in our expression of love, connection and exploration through rope.
