::GENUINE RAY SKIN (SAMEGAWA)::

The “rayskin” (sometimes called
shagreen) is actually fish skin taken from specific species of
stingray or shark. It has been used on Japanese Sword handles for a
very long time mostly due to its rough texture which when wrapped
with ‘cord’, denies the cord from slipping. We have six colors for choosing!

::SYNTHETIC SILK ITO::

TSUKA-ITO
is the cord wrap on the handles of Japanese swords. Its
purpose is both aesthetic and functional, Ito comes in a
wide array of color to suit every taste, and it helps
reinforce the tsuka and prevent failure.

NOTE:
if you choose the Tsuka-ITO here, In order to match Tsuka-ITO, we
will choose same color for sageo. you also can upgrade the sageo by
choosing below imported sageo.

::IMPORTED SAGEO::

The Sageo
下緒 (さげお) have been used on Japanese swords for many centuries. The
purpose of the Sageo is to hold the scabbard into the obi belt and
keep it from slipping. It is also used at times to secure the katana
into its saya by wrapping the sageo around the tsuka and tying it
off. It is easy to customize your Japanese sword by swapping out the
Sageo.

::TSUKA-MAKI::

Tsuka-maki – the art of
wrapping the tsuka, including the most common hineri-maki and
katate-maki (battle wrap); You can choose the warpping between
them, Our focus is making the wrap as tight as
possible to keep if functional as long as possible.

::TSUBAS FOR CHOOSING::

TSUBA (鍔 or 鐔)
is usually a round or occasionally squarish guard at the end of the
grip of bladed Japanese weapons, like the katana and its various declinations,
tachi, wakizashi, tantō etc.
They contribute to the balance of the weapon and to the protection
of the hand. The tsuba was mostly meant to be used to prevent the
hand from sliding onto the blade during thrusts as opposed to
protecting from an opponent’s blade.
