We have just completed a very comprehensive tutorial for an archetypal old-style gote. It is Nina’s own variation on Marai Masato’s and very similar to Naka Akira’s with its roots in Yukimura’s. It starts with the 2-rope base, she then adds 3rd and 4th ropes, then finally shows how to add the suspension line and complete a very practical partial suspension graduating to a full suspension.
It’s been added as a tutorial on ShibariClasses.com with notes and supporting material. It was all shot by final year students from NTFS in HD, although edited and graded by a numpty (me). In spite of the latter, it looks very professional if I say so myself.
