Japanese Imported Sageo - Sageo Cord for Your Katana The Sageo is the 'cord' that is attached on the scabbard (saya) of your katana and is available in single and multiple colors.
The tying of your sageo to the hakama strings is a rather 'new' and modern age thing. The original way of using it was to strip it around the belt and the saya so that it stayed where it was put, in the belt. The Obi Dome also served this purpose. In this method of tying the sageo the saya stays with you on the battlefield. The sageo is atttached to the saya and is going through the kurigata to prevent it from wandering around or slipping completely off of the saya.
