If you go to the "visit your group on the web" link at the bottom of the

But that would take forever, wouldn't it.

It looks like the recent recipe was for instant miso soup balls.  What kind of
recipe are you looking for and how detailed do you want it to be?  Miso soup is
just miso paste in standard Japanese cooking stock.  Are you asking how to make
the stock, how to make miso, how to dry fish (i.e. making the stock really,
really from scratch), or just what other ingredients you should add?

Ditto what Franzi-dono is saying.  For plain miso soup, go ahead and
look online for myriad recipes.  In my experience, the historical
Japanese texts don't bother telling you how to make miso soup, except
what to put in it.

Personally, I've found that making a good dashi broth to start is the
secret, followed by controlling the temperature of the miso.  If you
boil the miso (or keep it heated for too long) you'll break down the
flavor.  Personally, I like adding fresh miso to individual bowls as I
pour the dashi over it, but this isn't practical in all cases.  Still,
I think it provides the best miso flavor, imho.

Miso soup is really, really easy. Warm up dashi[1], open up container of miso,
scoop in enough miso to taste. While I'm not sure what period additions were, I
tend to turn mine into miso ramen and throw in cubed tofu and broccoli. Makes a
quick and delicious dinner.


[1]I use water because, honestly, I can't tell the difference. Probably because
the dashi I make is pretty darn weak.

It all depends upon how fancy you want to be. I know Japanese guys
who will just stick a bit of miso in a bowl and add hot water. At the
other extreme of things is the miso soup we made in Chaseki class.
One time, we even shaved the katsuobushi ourselves from hunks of
processed katsuo. Our sensei had us used pieces of broken light bulb.
I asked her what was used before broken light bulbs were around, she
suggested bits of broken crockery. However, I do believe that there
is a device similar to a carpenter's plane which is period which can
be pressed into service.

Basically, that is the sort of thing that was stressed in chaseki class.
We made our own dashi by boiling konbu and katsuo bushi. Then,
after straining the resulting dashi, we added miso. Our sensei was
quite explicit that you never ever want to boil miso. Then arranged
various items in each of the bowls, and spooned the basic miso
shiru into the bowls.

Basically, the principle is similar to the one which you mentioned,
but is far more likely to be practical.

I seem to remember not very long ago people where talking about what to use to
carry stuff while dress in period.  I am not sure if this came up, but I imagine
you could use Seoi Kago.  Not 100 sure if it's period, but I have seen similiar
things in period artwork.  I just never knew what to call it.  I have had
trouble finding it and I finally did, at a German Tool manufacture.  Yeah go
figure, it is like the german version of the black and decker company as far as
I can tell, but amongst the power saws and hammers I find Seoi Kago!  It's about
$40 US but I can't seem to find anywhere on their site if they ship to the USA. 
But just looking at it it seems easy enough to make... assuming you know how to
weave bamboo.  Anyway here is the link:

Not necessarily what was previously posted but, from "Best-Ever Recipes:
Japanese and Sushi" by Emi Kazuko and Yasuko Fukuoka, Hermes House, London
ISBN-13: 978-1-84681-207-1, ISBN-10: 1-84681-207-0,
here is a recipe that I have used:
5g / 1/8 oz dried wakame.
1/2 x 225-285g / 8-10 1/4 oz packet fresh soft tofu or long-life silken tofu.
400ml / 14 fl oz / 1 2/3 cups second dashi stock, or the same amount of water
and 5 ml / 1 tsp dashi-no-moto.
45 ml / 3 tbsp miso.
2 spring onions (scallions), finely chopped shichimi togarashi, or sansho
(optional), to serve.

1. Soak the wakame in a large bowl of cold water for 15 minutes.
2. Drain the wakame and chop into stamp-size pieces if using the long or broad
type.
3. Cut the tofu into 1cm / 1/2 in strips, then cut horizontally through the
strips. Cut the strips into squares.
4. Bring the dashi stock to the boil in a medium saucepan.
5. Put the miso in a cup and mix with 60ml / 4 tbsp hot stock. Reduce the heat
and pour two-thirds of the miso into the pan of stock.
6. Taste the soup and add more miso if required. Add the wakame and tofu and
increase the heat. Just befor the soup comes to the boil again, add the spring
onions and remove from the heat. Do not boil. Serve sprinkled with shichimi
togarashi or sansho, if liked.

Hope this helps.

Bean paste and Benito flakes are the corner stone of a good Miso soup, in my
opinion. There are about three different kinds of bean paste, light, medium and
dark. Benito flakes are pretty much the same.
While dashi is good, I find that Dashi can be incredibly salty! Especially the
Anchovy Dashi. If you are watching your salt intake, benito flakes and bean
paste are a better alternative.
 
Personally, I like body in my Miso soup. So as an american twist, I use a can of
chicken broth and water as a base, then boil the flakes in it. The chicken broth
doesn't cover up the taste of the flakes, I think it compliments it. After
straining out the flakes, the soup base has a body to it that I really like.
 
Add-ins like tofu and noodles, are to individual taste. Go to your local
oriental market and experiment. That's what I do.
 
There is no secret ingrediant or special recipe for miso soup. And in period,
there was bean paste, benito flakes, and what ever you could afford, have in
your pantry, or what was in the garden. (Same with stir fry. Rice, what veggies
you had, and maybe if you were lucky, meat) So, using the three main
ingrediants, water, bean paste, and benito flakes, as long as you keep it
simple, your good.
 
hope this has been helpful.

I thought the kind of dashi made from bonito flakes WAS the most common (though
the sardine/anchovy stuff is common too, of course).

My profound apologies for not responding to these sooner. I have been offline
for a bit.

All you need to do for a false back seam is fold the double-width back panel in
half (outer side of the fabric inside of the fold) and use a line of running
stitch to form the seam. The whole point is to save you from having to use a
more complicated seam finishing treatment, flat-felling included.

For Genevra-hime, taking in the sides will only take in the sides of your
garment. Your false back seam can use as narrow a seam allowance as you can
manage to make it - mine are often a total of 5/16" sewn by hand. If you press
your fold first and use a machine, you could conceivably go even narrower.

Good luck with your projects.

I don't think the recipe for the basic broth is that different.  The
type of miso might be--I don't know that modern miso is the same as
older miso (especially in terms of the grains used), but it may be.
Hard to say, but by the 17th century we have differentiations of
"nakamiso" ("middle" miso--something between dark and light miso,
which seems the standard miso for most recipes), "usumiso" (thin
miso--this might be talking about the broth, as I'm doing this out of
memory), and even "chunky" miso (indicating that most are not that
chunky).

I have a quick question for you.  Do any of you wear Tabi boots? AKA Ninja
boots.  Before anyone yells I know I know that they are not period not to
mention not really ninja or samurai either.  I have a pair of wariji sandals,
hand made from rice straw and everything.  Here is my problem, after walking in
them all day my legs hurt so bad I can barely move the next day (fallen arch) so
they are out of the question.  I tried inserting supports in the socks to help
but that just made them even more uncomfortable.  So I figure my next option,
other than wearing my sneakers, is these Tabi boots.  I have seen some SCA
pictures of people wearing them, or something similiar.

Anyway I was just wondering if anyone wears them and could tell me things like
where they get them, what size to order (my size, a size larger, a size smaller)
and do they wear out fast?  I have heard they wear out fast.  I know of one
place to get them www.martialartsmart.com, they are a little pricey but I trust
them because I have ordered all kinds of things from them for years when I
competed in Taekwondo.  I guess I'm asking for a review of the Tabi boots :)

For size, find out what your foot size is in centimeters (there is
probably a chart out there somewhere).  As for what to look for,
search for "jika tabi".  Not sure if they have much in the way of arch
support, but it is something you could try.


-Ii

As a podiatrist and a martial artist, I'm constantly on the lookout for some way
to help over-pronators (people with "flat feet") through a barefooted day. The
ideal is always custom molded orthoses, but there's no way to wear them barefoot
(or in open sandals like waraji). The best I've found yet is a kind of removable
arch strapping with padding built into the arch. While not ideal, it will
provide at least some support. It would be invisible under tabi socks and could
also be worn barefoot.

The type of thing I'm talking about is at
http://www.footsmart.com/P-FootSmart-Arch-Brace-10079.aspx. I make something
similar for patients in my office. I've never ordered from this company, but
their price doesn't seem too bad. If you wind up trying it, please let me know
about your experience.

i don't know if they will do anything about arch support but you mite look at a
dive shop or sportswear mart for the shoes for walking on jagged rocks.
sometimes they have a split dig toe. I saw someone at an event here in
Bakersfield from Hawaii who was wearing a pair. he told me he picked them up
from Walmart in Hawaii.

Mongol boots have a  similar look to some of the period Japanese
boots--the Japanese boots tended to be lower, with less flourish, but
it might work depending on your persona.

There were also some fully covered Muromachi era leather shoes that
I've seen.  I just haven't worked out a pattern for them.  I'm away
from my sources, but perhaps someone else has good info on that?

About a year ago I lost the toes on my left foot in an accident. Is there any
