Have you ever wondered what these strings on the katana are for?

They are called Sageo.

Today they are almost only for tying the scabbard to your hakama or belt.

However, in the past, it was used as a multi-purpose tool.

For example, you could use the string for Tasukigaké, carrying the katana on your back, to stop bleeding when you’re injured, tie up an opponent you’ve captured, etc.

The samurai always carried katana, so having a long string on it was quite convenient.

By the way, there are different materials for the Sageo, but if your budget allows, I highly recommend silk.

It’s very soft and easy to handle when you tie it.
