Tsukamaki question

[Marius]

Gents, 

 

I will start with a disclaimer - this is on behalf of a friend, who has stumbled upon a problem with his tsukamaki. He would like to do a Tensho tsuka, with a horn kashira, ito going over the kashira, of course. He complains that the ito always ends up being loose. In other cases everything is OK. 

 

Any kind of manual how to do it properly? Any advice? My friend will be obliged, and so will I.

Thank you so much for any piece of information 

 

I attach a picture of a tsuka, just to be sure you know what I, being a complete ignoramus in these things, am talking about.

The Art of Tsukamaki is available on Amazon, you can read it for free with Kindle Unlimited Abo that offers a free trial month i think. 

But if he likes it he should buy it, it is only 26€ and worth it in my opinion.

On many historical examples the Ito is lacquered.
