Hello, This tsukamaki is an excellent example for studying jabara hineri maki. It features a 12-strand jabara braid made from ultra-thin cords, executed at a very high level. An interesting detail is that each turn of the wrap contains an additional core made from tightly rolled washi paper (name: koyori), in addition to the standard insert. This is clearly visible at the centre of each crossing — perfectly round, even, and very well executed. You could say that the only weak spot is at the node - where jabara enters the shitodome. see good photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/artur_drogamiecza/albums/72177720330907427/

Thank you for your kind words. I used white chicken eggs, the kind you know, from the countryside—from a farm. The shells were quite thick. Best Regards A

Than you very much!

Here's my work - koshirae, using the Rankaku technique. There are a few spots I'd improve on next time—I'd do it better. This was my first piece of this type, so you know... Jabaraito maki is also mine. It's an ajiro-kumiage-maki, with the difference that there are 10 pairs (and here the orthodox will have their say) and, additionally, the bottom layer is made as a hineri maki with washi strings—koyori—on each hishi. Typically, they use morotsumami maki underneath, but I've also seen some like mine, and I think it's stronger without the tendency to slip.

Hello everyone, Over the past few weeks, I've done a thorough review of my collection and decided which items are ready to move on. Below you'll find a selection of tsubas and other pieces that I hope may be of interest to those looking for something good to add to their collection or for comparative study. This isn't a typical "sale," but with the end of the year and the general discount season upon us, I've decided to set prices more flexible than usual. If anyone is planning to buy two or more items, I'd be happy to discuss a reasonable discount. I invite you to browse through the selection—maybe something will catch your eye. If you have any questions about provenance, condition, attribution, or stylistic comparisons, I'd be happy to chat. 1. €149,- $172,- _ 2. Sold _ 3. Sold _ 4. €129,- $149,- _ 5.

It has some Choshu features, but the cutout pattern is perhaps too soft, and the motif is slightly Higo-ish, but if I were to incorporate it somewhere, it would be Shoami. Do You have any idea?
