Lou,

You will find other colors of sword grip wrap including green. I think the brown wrap is certainly the most common though.

LOU-
THE TSUKAITO OR HANDLE WRAPPING IS OF RECENT VINTAGE. THE TANG READ EMURA SAKU(MADE BY EMURA). THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT HANDS THAT SIGNED THIS NAME. IT HAS THE MEANING OF PRISONER AND SUPPOSEDLY INDICATES A BLADE FORGED AT A PRISON FORGE BY CONVICT SWORDMAKERS.
