Art of Tsukamaki


I’m still thinking on wrapping my own one day.


Ever since seeing my first Japanese sword, I have been captivated by the elegance and complexity of TSUKA-MAKI (the art of wrapping the tsuka). Although I will share with you a few of the tools, materials and techniques needed for tsuka-maki, I have learned, through the guidence of Takahashi-sensi, that patience, persistence nad excellence are the true requirements for the application of this art.
