★ This is a sword下げ緒 (sageo) made by Michiaki Domyo, using the Sasanami braid. It is a beautiful purple color. Comes in a box. ★ I bought this as a reward for myself, but I have kept it at home without using it. For those who will make good use of it. Size: Length: Approximately 24-25cm when folded in four, so it is about 195cm. Width: Approximately 1.5mm Material: 100% silk Made in Japan. The Sasanami braid gets its name from the way the braid creates a ripple-like pattern on the surface. Domyo's braids and obi-jime (sash cords) are made one by one by hand dyeing and hand braiding, so there may be slight differences in color and braid pattern. In the case of multi-tone dyeing or gradation dyeing, the appearance of the knot will vary depending on the body shape and the thickness of the obi (sash) it is paired with. Please understand.
