Japanese black rope +- 20 metres 'syuro nawa'

Description

1 spool, 20 metres of Japanese palm tree string for tying together traditional bamboo fences such as Kinkakuji-gaki and Koetsu-gaki. Ø +- 3 mm. The black rope's other use is to fix bonsai to their supports so they don't fall over in the wind. Soak the string in water for 20 minutes to soften the fibres for easy handling. In strutting use, you may have to double it or quadruple it depending on the force you will put to it. Soaking the rope will also make it stronger. It can resist many years if you installed it properly. If the rope is in contact with the ground it will be covered by moss.
