Tsuka Ito

Tsuka Ito in cotton and silkCotton is the standard for the grip tape of sword hilts. It is an inexpensive and robust material.
Silk is even more stable than cotton and the colours of the material have a much higher radiance. However, the production process is relatively complex and the material is therefore somewhat more expensive than cotton.

Leather is the third material for Tsukaito. We can supply suitable leather for your sword handle on request.
