How to make a Nakajikake (kyudo string serving) with kusune and artificial fibers

The wrap has four sections: top, nocking area, kake area and bottom. Top and bottom are serving as "foundations" to fix it from slipping around. The threads are twisted in the nocking zone (3cm) and kept flat and untwisted in the kake zone.
I used no modern glue whatsoever, one softened kusune (pine rosin). As artificial fibers are used (zylon), it is quite resistent against wear, when compared with hemp.
To start, cut a spent tsuru in 40cm long pieces and split each in 4-7 individual bundles.

This is amazing. I have used another method that doesn't involve spinning cordage but wraps a looser bundle soaked with plenty of glue, almost like wrapping with papier-mâché or a plaster cast, and found that it required finesse I did not manage well. Never having spun anything or made any cordage in my life, I got your method right the first time and it came out beautifully. Nice clean snap of the arrow nocking on, too. Thank you.

Well, I got it from my sensei, so in a way, we both need to thank him ;) . I'm glad it turned out nice for you, it's not very difficult once you start doing it.

Thank you for this. You mention that your nocking point is about 8 mm above the Nigiri. Can you explain (to a newbie) why it's 8 mm, and how I determine the ideal nocking point on my bow? Thanks.

Hi! Thank you very much for sharing! jeje I was wondering... for lighter yumi (~15kg) is the normal nakajikake good enough (you know, with glue and flat fibers)? Or would you recommend this as well and why? Thank you again ^^
