Sageo is for tying around the Katana Saya or scabbard, either a replacement or to change the colour and look of your Katana.
Katana Sageo Cord is the cord that is tied around the Katana Saya or scabbard. Traditionally these would have been made from silk, cotton or leather, but most these days are made from polyester. Tying them on the Katana, the Katana Sageo Cord is threaded through the hole in the kurigata on the Katana's saya. There are loads of different ways to tie these depending on how you want it to look and function. The two main outcomes is how you want it to look when displayed and not being used and how you want it to function when tying it to your Obi when practicing your chosen sword style. There are other uses though, one of them is use in Hojojutsu which is a martial art based on using a rope as a weapon, for tying and locking an opponent.
The samurai felt the sageo formed a spiritual bond between them and the sword, and they were very particular about tying it correctly when the sword was not in use. These Katana Sageo Cord from Enso Martial Arts Shop have a slight grip to themselves which means they hold there position very well. So the fine work you do when tying it onto you Saya stays like that. As we said before it can be a whole art form tying these on so you want it to stay that way to show off your good work.
Available in two sizes but we are looking to do a longer length of 8 Shaku in the future, watch this space. At the moment we do the standard length of 180cm or 6 shaku, suitable for almost everyone, or for those looking for a longer length for more detailed tying we do 220cm or 7.2 shaku. We also have a whole range of colours, hand picked by Enso Martial Arts Shop. We think we have one of the best selections of colours out there.
