My friend just bought me a katana of my very own, and i untied the beautiful knot on the sageo to tye it around myself and now i know how to tie it back. Thank you, Ayumi-san.
i just got a set of katana swords for christmas, and i undid the Sageo cord on one of them. i found your video, followed the directions, and it looks good as new! thank you for this video! =)
Great thanks! It was very help full and Ayumi`s voice its very sweet make the video more perfect. Gracias es un video muy explcativo y la vos de Ayumi es muy dulce y hace mas llevadero el video :)
Looks a lot easier watching this...I saw some pictures of the knots and thought, HHHHEEEEELLLP haha. Like this it´s easy, did three times allready! Thank you for showing...
@@jasakure1440 Not just apologizing, but apologizing deeply and sincerely. I'm assuming he or she meant "domo arigato," but since it's been 11 years we'll probably never know.
suicidetony Actually, that's half the story. It was also to used to secure the saya (scabbard) to the obi (sash around waist) just to make sure the saya did not slip out of the obi when drawing the sword. It was only tied when on display or not in use. Hope that helps! :)
Great Video, but I had a question, if any one knows, so it's not really supposed to be super tight, is it? This Lady's finished knot was still fairly loose, when I received my sword The Presentation Knot was very tight. Which is proper? anyone know?
The braided cord (sageo) should be of a standard length (approximately 165 centimetres), flexible soft, and of a colour that matches or blends well with the colour of the scabbard. Some suggest it should match the colour of the tsuka-ito (handle-wrap) as was once the custom of the Shogunate. I don't know where you are from but Kakucho and Shigeuchi Sageos are easily found in many online UK shops where I live. Checking the internet there are many selling in Europe and the US. Try using those terms when searching
So intricate..! Lovely video! :) I do have a question on why the Sageo cord is tied that way though.... Is there a specific benefit to tying it as such? Is it much sturdier?
There are various ways to tie the sageo depending on the intended use. The knot shown here is a decorative knot used when displaying a sword in full mounting in a long-term display, or when delivering a new or newly-restored sword to a customer. This knot would not be the best choice for a sword that is in regular use, such as by a Kendo, Iaido, or kenjutsu practitioner. So it's not that it's sturdier than other knots, it's just prettier.
Arigatou gozaimasu. Anata wa *kanji* shi i *kanji* o/wo shi tsu i ru I decided to check out my hiragana translation skills, I started to mess up towards the end since I don't know the words/kanji yet.
^_^ thank you very much! i just got a pair of display swords in a yaard sale, and untied one of them. i understood the moment you say to put it through the loops (only a 2-loop sageo)
If you're going for "thank you elder sister" it's onee san, it's an extended e :) And yeah, it matters in Japanese. For example: いえ (ie) means house, but いいえ (iie) means no. It'd suck to get that mixed up.... Hiroshi-san: Do you want to go for tea with me? Sakura-chan: Sorry, house. Hiroshi-san: What...? Also, for "thank you", it's arigatou in romaji. Again with the extended vowel at the end, just a good habit to keep.
great demonstration Easy Peasy Japan Easy !!!! just stop the video and loop and twist upper cord through your lower cord through the diagonal fold. Sugoi !
とても おもしろい この ビデオ は。。。 だけど, the BGM music is... hmmm somewhat out of place IMHO >__< I practice tying the sageo at least twice a week with this video as my guide. Upload に 本当に ありがとう
lol idk why but i like listening to this just a much as watchig to see how she dose it lol. pretty bad when i have almost no clue what shes saying without the subs lol.
Not sure how others do it but when I practise with my sword I untie sageo completely, let it loose and just tie the end of it to the obi. I guess that was the original purpose of the sageo....
@midiego79 Actually, "doumo sumimasen/ どうもすみません" also conveys the meaning of "thank you and sorry for putting you through the trouble" and is perfectly acceptable in this context. This phrase is commonly used to express your gratitude when someone has gone out of their way to do something for you upon your request (e.g., render you a service, do you a favor, provide you with instruction).
I had three to tie before class. This was straight forward and easy to follow.

1:20 this is when i decided that mine will stay unfolded
Lol but t does gut easier if u try
Also need to sacrifice all your fingers to the sun god
Same here
I gave up on the loop after
Still most reasonable comment on youtube
Great thanks! It was very help full and Ayumi`s voice its very sweet make the video more perfect.
Gracias es un video muy explcativo y la vos de Ayumi es muy dulce y hace mas llevadero el video :)
Thank you very much for this tutorial! It was easy to understand and to follow :)
Excellent video! I love that Tamezo Narita's "Hamabe No Uta" is playing in the background.
I bet that's her kid playing his little electric organ in the background! Too cute! Lol
I finished a saya for my brother thanks to you. domo arigato gozaimasu
muchas gracias, exelente leccion, voy a compartir esto con mis alumnos en mi DOJO....
tozando is so cool :D i got my total outfit in a week from japan to europe, with my name in kanji on both the gi and the hakama ^^
Gracias eres una experta, saludos desde México.

Thank you, very helpful! Took a couple of attempts, but not I can do it.. somehow! Practise, practise, practise!
Thanks alot very helpfull. best video i seen about how to tie sageo.
I have a wakizashi, is it okay to tie a sharp with two loops on each side instead of three? The cord is short.
So THAT'S how it's done! Thank you very much! Domo sumimasen!
"Domo sumimasen!"
???
@@seikibrian8641 I was confused too wondering why they were apologizing

素敵です. 昨日下げ緒はずしてしまった. これ助かった!
That's exactly what I said! Couldn't agree with you more!! 😳
How long should it be? I'm trying to follow along and I think mine is too long
The most difficult thing I ever saw
Yes way to complicated
I did this in 2 minutes
First attempt
It's never the problem of difficulty. It's Allways a matter of how hard u try. Hard to explain in english
@@ronnyracker7985 wierd flex but ok
Thank you so much!
muito legal, gosto muito de espadas, e a minha preferida e a katana, uma arma perfeita e precisa!
just wondering, what is the purpose of this wrapping on the blade cover?
It's just for decoration used by merchants back then to sell their swords. That's what I've read.
ah ok thnx

I'm a designer trying this out for my first custom sword. This is very difficult but she makes it look easy lol.
It is difficult at first but once you can do it its really easy
@@williamscriver3233 Isn't that true for just about anything?
I’m a guitar player and it was easy peasy.

Very informative..how long should the piece of cotton or silk should be???
How long is the cord? I need to replace it and can't get a Sageo anywhere handy. Thanks

Thank you, much easier than some of the other videos I've seen. Also. END
I tried, actually not as hard as it looks, great video. thanks
Ayumi gracias por mostrar nos como se hace
So intricate..! Lovely video! :)

i dont understand the last part. where i have to pull it tight ?? mine is also slack
HOW!!! I can barely do this, I get in the middle part and I mess up and and have to go back to the start! Your skills are remarkable!
But now what - this just sits under your belt? It seems to me like it would pull loose with use. It doesn't feel fully "tied-off". What am I missing?
I bought a katana in Chinatown sf. It didn't have the sageo tied. This was a great help.
Good tutorial, thanks. :) I tied mine nicely. ^_^
Thank you, my friend have untied that string from his katana and I wantend despertly to fix it :)
本当にありがとう
最もよいビデオ-結ぶ方法を
Her hands look smooth. Crafty and skilled too.
Very straightforward and simple to follow
Great video and easy to follow ^.^, unfolding will be still easier though... :D
Thank you!
Jan Prášek
what's the purpose of the sageo?
how long does the cord have to be?
Thank goodness! I was beginning to think I would never learn!
What's it for?
That's quite the process, almost confused herself at the end there.
Nice music too.
How long is the sageo?
This video was so calming XD
Own multiple katana and wakazashii always used leather frogs and kept tied now I can wear like my Iado katana and re thread THANK U

Thank you for the excellent video but could you do another short video showing how to tighten the knot correctly?
Is this a 180 cm or 220 cm Sageo?

When I was a just a little kid thought learning to tie my shoe was the same degree of difficulty.
