Synthetic Silk Leather Ito Wrapping Cord Sageo for Japanese Samurai Swords Handle Saya

Ito is the wrap of the tsuka, traditionally silk but today most often in cotton and sometimes leather. A sageo is a hanging cord made of silk, cotton or leather that is passed through the hole in the kurigata of a Japanese sword's saya. Sageo used to tie the sword on your waist as a belt in the old time, but now we usually tie on the saya.
