SSP-14 Cotton Sageo — Dark Navy, 8 Shaku (224cm)
The SSP-14 Cotton Sageo is an entry-level Sageo cord, designed for Iaido practitioners looking for a supple, easy-to-manipulate first Sageo. Woven in a chunky cotton weave and finished in dark navy, it is suitable for both Seitei Iaido and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu (MJER).
Key Features:
Chunky weave cotton construction — soft, supple, and easy to tie and manipulate, ideal for beginners
Dark navy colour
8 Shaku length (approximately 224cm)
Suitable Seitei Iaido and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu tying styles.
Length Guidance:
Sageo length requirements vary by tying style. A standard Sageo is 7 Shaku (approximately 212cm), which suits most Seitei Iaido tying methods. Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu requires approximately 1 Shaku of additional length to accommodate its tying style, making the 8 Shaku (224cm) length of the SSP-14 the correct choice for practitioners training in MJER, while remaining fully usable for Seitei Iaido as well.
Who This Is For:
The SSP-14 is best suited to Iaido practitioners purchasing their first Sageo, or those wanting a comfortable, forgiving cord for regular training. Its cotton construction offers a supple handling feel that makes tying techniques such as Sageo-sabaki easier to learn compared to stiffer or more premium weaves.
