Before & After – Tsukamaki Restoration 7

Aug 1, 2008 Services 0 Comment

This one is for our sensei. He had a katana that he wanted us to re-wrap the tsuka.

What he gave to us was just the wooden tsuka core. He already made a channel for the samegawa (ray skin), but we had to make it wider. So we had to do a little bit of carving.

We wrapped his tsuka in hinerimaki style. The menuki are sakura (cherry blossoms) common on gunto (military swords) which we’ve been saving for a long time. But my sensei wanted it badly so we gave it to him and mounted it on his tsuka.
