Tasukigake(襷掛け) is a method of tying a kimono with a string so that the Tamoto (sleeve) of the
kimono does not get in the way during work or battle.
This time, we will introduce Tasukigake using the sageo(下緒) attached to the sword sheath(Saya).
The sageo is not for Tasukigake, but it was one of the samurai's wisdom to utilize these
surrounding objects as needed.

There is a theory that sageo(下緒) is generally a remnant of Tachio(太刀緒).
Together with Kurikata(栗形), it also prevents the scabbard(Saya 鞘) from
falling off the obi when the sword is pulled out.
It can also be used when a string is needed, such as a tasuki(襷) or blood stop.
Various other usages have been handed down in Tenshinryu.
