Description

Tsuka-ito is the wrapping of the tsuka, traditionally silk but today more often cotton and sometimes, leather. A sageo (Ͼw or Ϥ²¾w) is a hanging cord made of silk, cotton or leather that is passed through the hole in the kurigata (ÀõÐÎ) of a Japanese sword's saya. There are a number of different methods for wrapping and tying the sageo on the saya for display purposes. In some schools of Iaid¨­, the sageo is tied to the hakama when practicing.
