We’ve made this quick tutorial explaining how to roll one of our Straw Tatami Mats and create your Tameshigiri target.

These mats are rolled into various thicknesses, soaked in water for 3 days, and then allowed to dry for a day before cutting. The resulting target is supposed to then accurately represent the consistency or resistance of the human neck or limbs.

Don’t forget to let your target dry for 1 day before cutting.

You can find everything you might need to practice Tameshigiri, along with sword display solutions, care sets and components HERE.
