How to prepare Tenouchi

What to prepare.

Yumi

Here are some tips on how to prepare your Tenouchi.

There is a line written on my palm.

This is where the Yumi is supported.

It is not a grip with the whole palm of the hand.

Bend the palm of your hand like this.

This causes wrinkles in the palm of the hand.

This crease is placed on the Mato side edge in front of the Yumi.

The Yumi is supported by the little finger, ring finger and middle finger.

This is not a grip.

On the back side of the hand, the joint is parallel to the Yumi.

This is the correct state of Tenouchi.

If you hold the Yumi, the joints do not line up as neatly as this.

This is the state in which Tenouchi has been prepared.

It's difficult to start from the beginning, so please practice little by little.

I recommend that you practice just holding the Yumi and drawing like this.

This way you can concentrate only on Tenouchi.

With Tenouchi in place, I'll try to release Tsuru.

This is how the Yumi is turned over.
Please prepare your Tenouchi and practice drawing the Yumi lightly to get a feel for it.

Common mistakes.

If you hold the Yumi, it will not turn over.

Then Tsuru hits the left arm.

It's difficult, but you have to practice.

You will be able to do it.
