Tsuka-maki End Knot: Omote

WATCH THE URA SIDE VIDEO FIRST!! A tutorial on how to tie the end knot on the omote (outward facing when worn) side of the tsuka. I used the shoddy red ito because I figured it would be easier to see than all of the dark colors I had laying around. Go to for great information on tsukamaki! Thomas L. Buck has provided a great resource. ^_^
