During the Muromachi period (1568-1603), the introduction
of the pairing of the Katana (the curved sword) and Wakizashi
was introduced. The Wakizashi, or the shorter companion
blade to the Katana, was about 18 inches long.
Only
the warrior class - the Samurai - was allowed to wear
the two swords, which remained a custom for the next several
hundred years until abolished in the 19th century. This
Wakizashi is the companion piece to the
Golden Oriole Katana with matching fittings and blade
construction. Supplied with protective cloth bag. Forged
in Hanwei. This is a sharpened battle ready Samurai
sword.
The
elegantly simple lines of the Golden Oriole Daisho (SH1018,
SH1019) have long been favored by admirers of the Japanese
sword. The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis
stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself
being stalked by the Golden Oriole.
The
deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese
cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the
kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14” tsuka of
the katana gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing
it to move very quickly and very freely.
This
Japanese Swords is supplied with a protective cloth bag
and traditional maintenance kit.
