Katana 刀 is a type of samurai sword whose origin dates back to around the 15th century AD. A katana has a curved blade, just like a saber. Handle (tsuka) with oval cross-section and guard (tsuba) with oriental symbols. The length of the katana blade starts from about 60 cm. The samurai wore his katana tucked behind his kaku-obi belt, blade up, along with his Wakizashi short sword, so that he could respond to a sudden enemy attack directly from the scabbard. The pair of katana and wakizashi swords were called daishō and were the symbol of the samurai class. A set of two daishō swords became standard equipment for samurai. The long katana was used for fighting in open spaces, while the short wakizashi or tantō was used for fighting in confined spaces or for ritual suicide called seppuce.
