Tanto koshirae with saya haraawase kiss wrap and jabaraito katatemaki

[Artur DrogaMiecza]

Hello, I have completed the koshirae project. The first time I was wrapping a curved and rounded saya - naginata shape. It was an interesting experience. Working with samegawa is done after it gets wet and you need to know the drying and shrinking time of the skin to do this. What was new to me in this project were:
- new shape of the seppa rim,
- leveling the braid on the sides of the tsuka - jabaraito katatemaki, so that the attached tsukaito strips on tsuka ura are not visible
- tsunagi - first job.

Saya and tsuka was made of Ho wood, tsunagi - alder wood. 

I still need more practice with wood work, have to buy more tools

Thanks for watching. 

Best
