Tsuka-ito
Tsuka-ito is the wrapping of the tsuka, traditionally silk but today more often cotton and sometimes, leather.
 
Sageo
A sageo (下緒 or 下げ緒) is a hanging cord made of silk, cotton or leather that is passed through the hole in the kurigata (栗形) of a Japanese sword's saya. There are a number of different methods for wrapping and tying the sageo on the saya for display purposes. In some schools of Iaidō, the sageo is tied to the hakama when practicing.
