is one of the seven mat holds, Osaekomi-waza, of Kodokan Judo. In grappling terms, it is categorized as a side control hold. It is commonly referred to as scarfhold in English due to erroneous translation from Japanese; the 'scarf' in scarfhold is in reference not to a western neck scarf but instead to a Buddhist Monk's sash worn from the left shoulder towards the right hip (hendan uken) which was formerly known as 'kesa'. It is also known in wrestling as the head and arm ride.

== Description == Many Judo throws lead naturally to Kesa-Gatame, since the classic judo hold places one grip on the opponent's lapel and one grip near the opponent's elbow. As one enters newaza (ground fighting), one arm encircles uke's neck while tori's sleeve grip provides control over uke's arm. In The Canon Of Judo, Kyuzo Mifune points out that tori's arm should lift uke's head and tori's leg should be under uke's shoulder.
