I've read that many koryu have special ways of tying waraji, often for strategic or religious/mystical reasons. Unfortunately I'm not studying a koryu so I'm not privy to any way of tying waraji. Before I make a mess of knotting them up in some hideous fashion that my feet will regret, does anyone have any suggestions for tying waraji? I'd be particularly interested in methods of tying them that are traditional to a koryu (if I'm allowed to know such okuden :-), but I'm open to any suggestions.

I too would like to know this. I saw in a photo albun of a samurai festival that their tying method was different from Umihei's(http://www.os.xaxon.ne.jp/~umihei). Thanks.
