Figure 90. Bonito hook, single lashing through proximal hole: a-d, fixation of commencement end; e, half-hitch side binding; f, overhand-knot side binding; g, completion, first side binding; h, completion, second side binding. a-d, fixation of commencement end: back of shank (9) toward craftsman with distal tail end above; end (1) of thread turned down on shank; thread passed around clockwise through proximal hole in point; transverse turn (2) across back of shank crosses turned-down end of thr…

Figure 90. Bonito hook, single lashing through proximal hole: a-d, fixation of commencement end; e, half-hitch side binding; f, overhand-knot side binding; g, completion, first side binding; h, completion, second side binding. a-d, fixation of commencement end: back of shank (9) toward craftsman with distal tail end above; end (1) of thread turned down on shank; thread passed around clockwise through proximal hole in point; transverse turn (2) across back of shank crosses turned-down end of thread; end (1) turned back over turn which crossed it; transverse turn (3) crosses thread and fixes it. e, half-hitch side binding: after eight or ten turns (4) through proximal hole, over proximal grooves on shank sides, and over snood loop, shank turned with tail to right; thread, coming up from back of shank, passes through under lashing to form loop (5), makes turn (6), and passes under loop (5); thread tautened and couple more half-hitches made in same manner. f, overhand-knot side binding: loop (5) made in same way as for half-hitch, but thread, after making turn (6) over lashing, passes over loop (5) and up under it from outside; thread tautened and couple similar turns made. g, completion, first side binding: after three half-hitches or overhand knots made close together (6) in ascending order, thread (7) passes through proximal hole to other side. h, completion, second side binding: three similar side loops (6) made in descending order on opposite side; overhand stopper knot (8) made on thread and run close down to lashing; surplus thread cut off.
