Masamune Team's Advice:
- Check the cord before and after training regularly.
- After using Do, tie the Himo around it to dry flat.
- If the Himo is twisted, feel free to unfold it and then iron it back to its original shape.
- The cord will break in the striking or fastening areas.
- Once the cord is damaged, it can't be repaired and must be changed.
