I have always felt Your support. Thank You

Thank You.

I took to heart a few comments after the first publication. That motivated me. Two years have passed in studying and practice. Thank You.

Thank You, I have this one:

Yes, habaki is not perfect. I will improve this step of work.

Thank You Peter for enabling me to carry out this project and substantive support. For this project, the biggest difficulty was scale. Kogatna koshirae - this is small. Jabramaki using a 0.85 mm thick thread. Black lacquer with the addition of golden scraps. Fittings made of amber horn buffalo.

My new project. I received a blade and habaki, tsuba, fuch kashira. I had to choose menuki and make koshirae. Unfortunately, habaki is very thick. Due to the fact that it is wrapped in silver foil, I could not change the geometry - reduce it. This affected the shape of the koiguchi, which should correspond to the size of the fuchi. I will be pleased if you pay attention to what I could improve on my next project. Thanks to Takashi Iiyama San, for supporting me with tsukamaki work. Thank You

Hello, I would like to share, new acquisition.

Thank You very much for good words.

Hello, thank You for interesting. Color samegawa takes 1 day (effective work about 2 h) it must dry after first layer of mixture and then second is putted. Tsukamaki takes about 25-30 h.

Hello, I would like to present my project of November. It was samegawa work - color (it was white before) and tsukamaki - tsumami maki. I would like to thank Mr Takashi Iiyama for all help and correcting my work. I will make it better! before:

Hi, Ian, To untangle the skein, ask the other person to hold it on the wrists. Beforehand, gently untangle the skein and find the starting thread. Untie the skein in 5 minutes. Hold on!

Thank You very much.

Hello, I would like to present my project of October. It was just tsukamaki - jabara katate maki. I was making this katate maki for the first time of jabara ito and I believe, next will be better. Thank You for watching.

This is my next project. New learn - kake jabara maki. It looks not very hard, but.... 3 inner pairs are hira maki and it need more patience than other jabaramaki types. Thank You for watching.

I will gladly undertake projects to restore tsuka. Please contact me on drogamiecza@gmail.com

oyatsubu position planning, cut out same shape comparison whether the color is close to the antique samegawa (up one) shape forming of samegawa hishigami work

Thank You Brian. It took me 3 days of work - 30h. Greetings

Hello, I would like to present my last project. It was just tsukamaki - tsumami maki. I got a task to do it exactly like it was before. Old tsukaito was damaged on tome. I removed the old braid entirely to have a pattern. I would like to thank Mr Takashi Iiyama San for all help and correcting my work. Thank You for watching.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Hello, I would like to present my latest project from September. I am particularly pleased with the work on samegawa. I colored it using natural ingredients (dried fruit) from Japan. I also had difficulty finding the right tsukaito color, the closest to the original, but I succeeded. In total, I checked 4 shades of brown. Thank You for watching

No problem with shipping.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I have been training tsukamaki since 2006. When I thought I could do it decently, I met a man who caused me to start everything again. Different work technique and traditional materials. Without this help I would not have come to that. Thanks Takashi-San.

I have finished the jabara-maki project. This is ajirokumiagemaki. I would like to thank Mr. Takashi Iiyama for invaluable advice and patience with my mistakes. Thank You Takashi-San! I can't wait for the next project. hard moments:
