The Japanese Wakizashi
|
|
Japanese swords between 11.8" (30 cm)
and 23.6" (60 cm) are called Wakizashi. These are the shorter of the two
swords worn as a daisho . The wakizashi was used with one hand and the blade
was worn on the belt with the edge up. Japanese merchants were not allowed
to wear Katana, so they often carried
Wakizashi. |
