History and Significance of the Japanese Katana
The katana (Japanese 刀) is an iconic Japanese sword that was an integral part of samurai life for centuries. This item is characterized by its signature curved shape, single-edged blade, and long handle allowing a comfortable two-handed grip. The katana reached its peak during the Edo period (1603–1867), becoming standard equipment of the samurai class and a symbol of their status and personal honor.
Symbolism and Wearing
Samurai traditionally wore the katana tucked through the Kaku-obi belt with the edge facing upwards, allowing for a swift draw directly from the scabbard (Saya).
The Daishō Pair
The katana was often paired with a short sword, the Wakizashi (or a Tanto knife).
