This is the second tsuka that I did for the fine gentleman / collector in San Francisco. I did this in the Jabara-ito style using 8 purple colored silk threads.  This style of wrap takes longer than normal because of the both the weaving patterns of the threads, as well as the number of threads involved.

My wife is particularly fond of this tsuka because of the style, and my son really likes it because it reminds him of his favorite team - The Minnesota Vikings! (just an FYI)

I shared this with a couple members of our local Token Kai, and I was asked to bring it to our next meeting as the focus of that evenings discussion - quite an honor.

Anyway, tell me what you think.
