Himo tying.

Postby mythil on Wed Oct 17, 2012 7:16 pm

Hi all.

My bogu arrived a day or two ago, yay. I'm getting some practice putting the Do on and off as that's most likely the first bit I'll be wearing (that and the Tare). I'm sure someone at the club will show me, though I'm interested. I've seen a few people tie the himo of their do in a few different variations of a slip knot. How do you tie yours? Does it matter which knot you use as long as it works? Are any knots banned or considered impolite?

Just something I became a bit interested in ;)

This downloadable Kendo Equipment Manual PDF shows a few ways to tie the dou-himo:
