Sword knots are (primarily) an European tradition, for a one-handed sword. The idea is that you attach the cords to your wrist so that if you let go of the sword, you don’t drop it and lose it.

When Japan ‘modernized” in the Meiji Restoration, they “European-ized” many of their traditions. For the Russo-Japanese war, they even put katana blades in European-style saber mounts.

For World War 2, they adopted a more traditional mount for their swords, called “Shin Gun To, or New Army Sword. It was a katana-style mount, but they added a loop at the end of the tsuka (handle), and attached a sword knot.

The actual purpose of the string is to attach it to the belt, clothing, etc. of the person wearing it.

The idea is that the movement of the brightly colored tassel will distract the opponent from the movement of the sword.
