kansai vs kanto

How to tie the men?

We have 2 options, kansai or kanto.
Whats the difference?


Kansai style:

The men himo (8 shaku long) are attached by one single piece of leather at the top of the mengane.





Kanto style:

The men himo (7 shaku long) are attached by two leather pieces at the "cheeks" of the mengane.
