Green Sageo


The sageo is the cord which is attached to the saya (scabbard) of the katana of wakizashi. Historically, the uses were endless :

*The traditional kimono was often too lose for combat. A samurai could prepare for trouble by tying the sageo across the shoulders in a figure eight pattern. This tightens the kimono and shortens the sleeves.

*In a similar fashion, the sageo could be used as a cord for tying up prinoners.

*When in horseback, the sageo could be used to hand the sword upside down from the belt. This allowed it to be drawn in a wide arc.
