@andytomlinson415 Жыл бұрын
These are Menuki, small metal ornaments to hid the bamboo pegs (Menugi) that fix the handle to the blade tang. Sometimes they are positioned where the hands are to aid in gripping or training of where to place the hands. Originally the Menugi and Menuki were one item made from a metal. As the swords of the Samurai evolved and blades were serviced rather than replaced, the pegs began to be made from bamboo, as the sword fittings were detached when the blade was serviced, bamboo pegs were easier and cheaper to replace as metal ones would need to be re-forged to guaranty a secure fit after being removed.

I don´t think it is informative enough. It does not tell you how long your flat cord should be to make full handle. I think you need like 4 metres at least.

She makes this look easy. For anyone who hasn't tried tsukamaki, it is not. Keeping the ito pulled taught this way is hard. For novices like me, you can keep a hand clamp nearby to give yourself a break, and not lose all your work. I assume she can also apply kusune to the ito while doing all that as well?

Yeah I've rewrapped both of my katanas, and while it eventually becomes sorta therapeutic, tensioning the cord takes a lot out of you.

Wrapping strings around the grip is an ancient practice and not limited to Japan. This specific kind of wrapping I am only aware from Japan however. We have examples of Japanese swords not wrapped this way even. 😅
@BigHenFor11 ай бұрын
Not really. Making everyday weapons would have been a man's job, and cheaper swords would have used materials that would really optimise the grip, especially through gloves or gauntlets. Such high-end, ceremonial swords give a false impression.
@竹田信夫-b1h10 ай бұрын
this traditional wrapping had became from long peaceful age , edo era. In edo era , there were about 260 years no war in Japan. so samurai had want to dress up their sword more beautiful and more gorgeous. In the end of edo era, the trend of sword wrapping has changed more simple and for original usage (Slashing and kill human). because the war and mayhem has started.
