Happiness Is A New Sageo

[e_v]

Well, a new sword can be much more happiness for sure, but an unexpected new sageo on an average wednesday can put a smile on your face too.

I just received a Japanese made silk nakafuji sageo, to match the ito on my wakizashi koshirae and I thought I'd share a picture:



I've been looking for this style of braid for some time with no luck, so I'm really happy I finally tied this cord to my saya (the knot is not perfect, but it's the best I could do myself).
If anybody has a favourite sageo style and wants to share it, feel free to post here

I think you did a good job, tells us where you found it.

After looking at local suppliers, a few EU based websites and even hunting for it at this year's S.F. Token Kai, I ended up ordering from Japan:

2 sageos + shipment + customs costed less than 1 similar sageo in Europe, so I felt less guilty when I opened my parcel and my wife asked why I received fancy silk cords...
