Authentic Japanese Katana Collection: Tradition and Craftsmanship at Your Fingertips

The Japanese Katana is more than a weapon; it is a symbol of tradition, artistry, and the spirit of the samurai. Characterized by its iconic curved blade, typically ranging between 23.6 and 31.5 inches, the Katana has been a central part of Japan's cultural and martial heritage for centuries. Historically carried alongside the shorter Wakizashi to form the daishō ("big-small"), the Katana was the primary weapon of choice for samurai warriors.

By the 15th century, the Katana had surpassed the Tachi as the favored blade due to its adaptability in battle and its superior cutting edge. Today, it is revered not just as a weapon but as an exquisite work of art.
