Cool Japan S2019E15 - Tying

Tying is a culture that is unique to Japan; beauty and prayers are created just by tying one piece of string. Foreigners are surprised that it is alive and well in modern society. Even today, things are tied for clothing, food, housing, martial arts, sumo, and gifts for ceremonial occasions. From the beautiful Mizuhiki to obi knots, which continue to evolve even today, and the ropework skills of "modern ninja" firemen that are extolled overseas. Our foreign guests search for cools in Japanese tying.
