Wim V Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Dear all, Does anyone know where to find a two-colour sageo as in the attached picture? I find tons of sageo on the internet, but the two-coloured ones, with the weaving pattern as in the picture, seem pretty hard to find. Preferably, I would like to find one of these in good quality silk. I am looking for a wakizashi size sageo (so 120 cm approximately), but if that would be impossible to find I suppose I could also cut down a katana size sageo. It does not have to be the exact two colours as in the picture (brown/black), I am open to other colour possibilities (for example blue / ivory white), but the alternated colour pattern is what appeals to me. Thanks for any help. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuuten Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi Wim, I wouldn't advise cutting one, as you can see the ends have been worked in a specific way (also to hold the combined threads together). It would be quite a waste to have one and then cut it on one of the sides You could check this little page out: http://www16.plala.or.jp/katana-iimura/index2.english.html They sell sageo and a bunch of other items.

b.hennick Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I think that David Thatcher can weave one to your exact specifications. He bought a machine that does the job. I'm sure that there is a thread on his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Singer Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have been planning to order a sageo from the individual below. I have no doubt that he can make you a sageo to your requirements. https://yinterestingbraids.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony edmunds Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi Wim I have a green and ivory silk sageo , full lenth ( approx 3 m) that I bought in the Japan Sword Shop in Tokyo It has been used and has a few marks from shitodomes but still looks good. Yours for £ 40 (I paid almost double that!) I'm in the UK so no customs charges, at least for now. Regards Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim V Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Thank you all for the suggestions so far. I will consider the options. Maybe having one made is the easiest solution in order to have it completely as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
