J is for...

Sometimes the phrase 'Japanese Bondage' is used to refer to Shibari.

A Japanese word meaning 'self-love', Jiai Shibari is sometimes used to refer to rope patterns that tie people in positions where they are hugging themselves.

Self-bondage, a Japanese word referring to someone who ties themselves made up from “ji”, themself, and “baku”, an abbreviation for “kinbaku”.

Jute (Corchorus olitorius and Corchorus capsalaris) are plants that belong to the Tiliaceae family, and are farmed to produce Jute yarn from which Jute rope is made. Jute rope is a probably the most widely used rope for Shibari.
