Many of Master Tatu's tutorials were written between 1996 and 2000 in preparation for an illustrated guide that was to have been published in 2001 under the title of "Japanese Rope Art", however life's unfortunate circumstances put the project on hold.  

This online guide was updated beginning in 2004 and following with many new photos for illustration.

A fully illustrated guide is now being written by Tatu.
