Today, I cut mats with some fellow backyard cutters. Cutting today didn't go as well as I thought it would for me, because it took me three times at least to get a suhei-suhei double. Barely. Also, I wasn't in top form today, probably because I didn't practice for almost 2 weeks. However, I hope that I can continue to grow and be able to become a better cutter =) Gotta work a lot on my ha-suji =)

Tsukamaki is very time consuming and if you want to get very even diamonds with hishigami etc. then it can take 2 or more hours not to mention sore fingers the day after. However, I like doing tsukamaki, and will be working on katatemaki wrap as soon as I get more ito for my katsumoto katana. It's pretty weird because I have never used anything other that silk ito (lol) but even though pricey, I think that the end job is worth it.
