Here's how my Shinwa Odachi looks after I rewrapped the Tsuka. I know using to separate pieces of Ito like I did isn't traditional but I had so much of it done and I didn't want to have to rewrap it again, also because after testing I'm probably going to shorten the tsuka from 22" to 16"-17" and if I do that the Tsukamaki will be the way it should be and if I don't shorten it then I'll just eventually rewrap it .

Here's how the Tsukamaki was on my Shinwa Odachi before I redid it. The Ito was loose, Menuki were upside down, Kashira was upside down, the Ito didn't alternate and the Omote end knot was tied wrong.
