殿様結び
A double coin knot is a decorative way of attaching two strands of rope together. It can be used to create a hishi karada that is very decorative and attractive if you play with the same partner on a common basis and would like to have a karada rope set up for that person for fast use.
Pros: Attractive.
Cons: Takes a little time to tie. Requires you to "work" the knot a bit to get it flat, even and attractive.
Rope Needed
Natural and Blue 6mm
