Before & After – Tsukamaki Restoration 8

geishasblade
Aug 1, 2008 Services 0 Comment

One of our custom katana returned to us after over a year to have a make-over. Due to frequent use, the original tsukamaki (wrapping) has become very loose. So the owner decided to avail of our tsukamaki service. He wanted to change the tsukaito color to “nando” (blue). The silk tsukaito is imported from Japan. Here are the “before and after” photos. Enjoy!
