Giho 36 Sayabiki Brush-up/ 鞘引のブラッシュアップ

This is a brush-up video on the sayabiki during noutou.
The awareness to draw a straight line instead of bringing forth a curved line out of carelessness is essential.

This time we would like to brush up on sayabiki, i.e. pulling back the saya.
In the instruction video we told you to properly do sayabiki during noutou. However, when looking at several people’s practice, we’ve come across a number of ones who do the noutou like this with a leftover part of the saya.
The most important thing about sayabiki is pulling the saya all the way until the end.
In other words, maintain the saya’s angle in 閂差し (kan’nukisashi) as you pull it back straight.
This is very important.

Since, once you’re done with the sayabiki, the saya will stand up, there might be those who get the wrong idea and raise the saya too early and, although they’re not done with the sayabiki yet, proceed with the noutou and call it a day.
Please don’t do that, but instead actively make sure the koiguchi is heading for your left hip and moves straight all the way until the end.
It should look like this.

Please make sure to properly perform the noutou while paying attention to this.
