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.
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?
^_^ 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.
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! :)
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.
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
@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).
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 !
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....
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.
@midiego79 Here's a common example: You are invited to a friend's place; when you arrive, you are offered tea and fruits. You politely decline, but the hosts insists, so you acquiesce to their offer. When they bring out the tea set and platter of fruits, you give a small bow while sitting and say, "Doumo sumimasen (thanks and sorry for the trouble)." Their response, "Iie, go-yukkuri douzo (Not at all; please, take your time.)" It sounds pretentious, but it's mundane in its frequency.
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
mine is too loose and I got no idea how to actually tighten every single loop correctly :/ I should never have worn it, I'm far more comfortable with the sheath in my hand or on a table.
I had three to tie before class. This was straight forward and easy to follow.
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.
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
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! =)
Thank you very much for this tutorial! It was easy to understand and to follow :)
Her hands look smooth. Crafty and skilled too.
Excellent video! I love that Tamezo Narita's "Hamabe No Uta" is playing in the background.
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 :)
I finished a saya for my brother thanks to you. domo arigato gozaimasu
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...
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 ^^
I bought a katana in Chinatown sf. It didn't have the sageo tied. This was a great help.
Thanks alot very helpfull. best video i seen about how to tie sageo.
Gracias eres una experta, saludos desde México.
I tried, actually not as hard as it looks, great video. thanks
Very straightforward and simple to follow
Ayumi gracias por mostrar nos como se hace
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

本当にありがとう
最もよいビデオ-結ぶ方法を
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, very helpful! Took a couple of attempts, but not I can do it.. somehow! Practise, practise, practise!
What a beautiful voice!
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!
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, much easier than some of the other videos I've seen. Also. END
muchas gracias, exelente leccion, voy a compartir esto con mis alumnos en mi DOJO....
Thank you, my friend have untied that string from his katana and I wantend despertly to fix it :)
Very informative..how long should the piece of cotton or silk should be???
I have a wakizashi, is it okay to tie a sharp with two loops on each side instead of three? The cord is short.
Best video for tying, period
How long should it be? I'm trying to follow along and I think mine is too long
Thank goodness! I was beginning to think I would never learn!
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?
That's quite the process, almost confused herself at the end there.
Nice music too.
i dont understand the last part. where i have to pull it tight ?? mine is also slack
Great video and easy to follow ^.^, unfolding will be still easier though... :D
Thank you!

^_^ 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)
I bet that's her kid playing his little electric organ in the background! Too cute! Lol
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?
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!! 😳

muito legal, gosto muito de espadas, e a minha preferida e a katana, uma arma perfeita e precisa!
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.
It looks like a good fun durning rainy days.
what's the purpose of the sageo?
Thank you for the excellent video but could you do another short video showing how to tighten the knot correctly?
How long is the sageo?
This video was so calming XD
Good tutorial, thanks. :) I tied mine nicely. ^_^
What's it for?
how long does the cord have to be?
can any one telll me what is this for
ahhh so thats how you do it... Arigatou gozaimasu! ^^
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

Can you imagine a samurai wife doing this before battle presentation with so much love and honor!

Why doesn't mine look like that?
Thanks for the tutorial.
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.
When I was a just a little kid thought learning to tie my shoe was the same degree of difficulty.
lovely voice! =)
Thank you 🙌🏽
@PyreFleur just go round twice on each side

This is "Ronin Musubi" of informal style.

i've been studying katanas for a year, finally i get to the sageo part
thank for the video
mine is too loose and I got no idea how to actually tighten every single loop correctly :/
I should never have worn it, I'm far more comfortable with the sheath in my hand or on a table.
!gracias mi amiga!
