The expertly braided cotton sageo ensures the saya is securely fastened when worn and adds a touch of practicality and comfort.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic white shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka guarantees a secure grip due to its signature textured surface. Known for its durability and non-slip properties, shagreen provides both functionality and elegance. Copper menuki are delicately embedded beneath the wrapping, not only adding to the handle’s aesthetic appeal but also improving balance and manoeuvrability, ensuring smooth and precise handling.
