Tsuka-maki End Knot: Ura

A tutorial on how to tie the end knot on the ura (inward 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 Tsukamaki.net for great information on tsukamaki! Thomas L. Buck has provided a great resource. ^_^

I'm so glad I watched this. I've been using the push tools all along, your pull tool is soooo much better.

Thomas L. Buck's pull tool! ^_^ I just like using it, too. Much less of a chance of damaging the ito, too.

This is awesome! I knew this knot but forgot it, and needed a quick brush up. most ppl who have "tutorials" tell you to just tie it and tuck it in lol... lolololol fools :)
