Strider Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Has anyone ever bought the cheap tsuka ito from ebay? It looks like it comes from China and I was wondering if a person would ever receive their goods once the money was sent. I do not need high quality material as I am still perfecting my technique. If anyone could point me in a better direction , it would be appreciated. Regards Scott Quote
Ted Tenold Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Cotton ito is available at Namikawa Heibei Shoten and is pretty inexpensive. Wonderful folks to deal with and completely trustworthy. http://www.namikawa-ltd.co.jp/cgi-bin/i ... te=16&no=7 Quote
Brian Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I second that. Great to deal with, and the cotton ito prices are very fair indeed. They have great reputations here on the NMB, have dealt with them numerous times. Brian Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 Would they also be able to find lacing cord for armor? KM Quote
Ted Tenold Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 I believe they do offer Katchu Yogu including different ito for do, sode, kabuto, etc.. Quote
Guido Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 I believe they do offer Katchu Yogu including different ito for do, sode, kabuto, etc..They don't have it on their website, but carry (or can order) parts for armor restauration. I bought some very nice silk Agemaki from them; they had the big one for the helmet in stock, and ordered the smaller one for the Saihai-no Kan, which took only a couple of days. Quote
