Folding the Armor (Bogu)

1.First, lie the bands on both sides of the Tare in right angles and wrap them around the end piece of the Tare.

2.Lay the Tare with the inside facing outwards and the upper edge laid upon the lower edge of the Do. Take the long upper Himo of the Do and cross it over the Tare in the middle. Lead it to the inside of the Do. There you can fasten it with a bow knot.

3.With the short lower Himo, fasten the Tare ends on the Do.

4.Connect the Men lobes to one another. Lay the Kote in the Mend and the Mend in the Do. The armor is now folded together and can be packed in the bag for transport.
