Hello to everyone here at Hisstank!
With the blessing and encouragement of my dear Senpai Daremo, I am posting the first series of tying a cord ("sageo" in Nihonggo) on a Japanese Sword's scabbard. Let's start!
The Basis:
The Sageo in this tutorial is based on the following web page:
The Art of Tsukamaki, by Thomas L. Buck
The Tools:
These are what I have on hand:
Box Cutter
Cigarette Lighter
Small Foldable Scissors
Precision Kit Tweezers
Sand Paper (Grit 600)
Ruler
I forgot to put the a piece of stainless steel pipe that I use as a roller to flatten my cotton bud stems.
The Materials:
In the picture: Tassel Thread - For the Sageo (scabbard cord) 3 Pieces of Tie Wire - For "knitting" needles Cotton Bud Stem - for the Saya (scabbard)
NOTE: I will keep referring to this thread in subsequent series for ease of posting pictures as to the materials and tools I use.
Step 1:
Sand the cotton bud stem for the paint to stick well. Flatten it with anything that may be used as some sort of rolling pin. I use a piece of stainless steel pipe I got lying around the house. Bend the stem slightly for ease of the blade to be sheathed in it. The aluminum blade is rigid enough to retain its curve and the cotton bud stem is flexible enough to accommodate the slight curve of the blade. I use the metric system when I do my measurements. Cut the "Kurikata" (scabbard knob) on the stem. It should be 7 mm. away from where you want the scabbard mouth. The knob should be 1 mm. wide. Stick a tack (similar to the one in this picture) to the resulting hole made when you cut the knob ad pull it just enough away from the stem, taking care that the knob will not snap away from the stem.
