Nothing compares with the shear elegance of silk, hand dyed naturally and found in traditional weaves that were used by the warrior class in armor dating back to the 12th Century and Heian Jidai. Whether you select a solid color or the incredible turtle shell pattern, there is no finer sageo available anywhere!

Did You know that sageo were considered as armor?

Our hand crafted silk sageo are made exclusively for us by crafts people that have been recognized by the Imperial Household for keeping traditional methods alive.  We use only the best quality silks, dyed naturally and woven specifically as sageo. We understand that the weaves for sageo must be different then the weaves used for tsuka-ito. Swordstore.com does not compromise with less expensive synthetics and chemical dyes or less expensive weaves.
