HoketsuzusetsuIn 1840, the book was published under the title "Hoketsuzusetsu, " based on "Tsutsumi-no-ki" and "Musubi-no-ki," which was written by Sadatake Ise around 1760. As he writes in this book, this content originates from a case study adopted by the Ashikaga shogunate in the Muromachi period.It consists of two volumes: the upper volume, Wrapping, explains how to wrap gifts in washi paper, and the lower volume, Knotting, explains the basics of tying knots, mainly for decoration. In this book by Makio Araki, the wrapping and knotting techniques are combined into one volume. Sadatake IseSadatake Ise has an ancestor of the Ise family, which was in charge of the etiquette of the samurai during the Muromachi period. Great-grandfather, Sadahira Ise, served the Tokugawa Shogunate from the Edo period, and the Ise family was a firm presence in the shogunate, backed by its possession of a vast amount of information on etiquette precedents from the Muromachi period. In the middle of the Edo period, Tadatake was engaged in research and writing on yusoku kojitsu (=government positions, ceremonies, and costumes based on their ancient precedents.) Author, Makio ArakiMakio Araki is one of the most prominent researchers on Orikata, and is also well versed in traditional Japanese celebratory items (items traditionally used for weddings and funerals), including Orikata.
