i tie hashiras so infrequently. i love the stillness, the complexity, the rigidity. they are quite challenging, both for myself and the model, for many reasons. that rigidity can be infuriating to some folks, boring to others, calming to some. maggie (@baby.girl.bites) fits into the last category, but is perhaps a bit of an anomaly from my personal experience of tying hashira.

scroll down in this feed to one of my first few posts to a link to an article written by RedSabbath that i quite enjoy, with a beautifuly written perspective on the experience of being in and enduring hashira.
