Dundas Student's Tameshigiri Practice # 14
Tameshigiri training consists mainly of cutting readily available Chinese beach mats. But, once in a while, students must practice their cutting skills on the much tougher Japanese floor mats tatami-omote. These mats, when old, can be very hard and unforgiving, especially for a beginner.
