FAQs

A Wakizashi is a traditional Japanese short sword featuring a single-edged blade, historically worn by samurai alongside the katana as a companion weapon to form the daisho pair.

Traditionally, the blade is forged from high-carbon steel, while the hilt consists of a wooden core covered in rayskin and bound with woven silk or leather braid over a lacquered wooden scabbard.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-forged steel grain patterns known as hada, a distinct differential hardening temper line called a hamon, and aged patination on the unpolished tang under the hilt.

In modern interiors, Japanese swords are typically presented horizontally on a dedicated wooden stand placed on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or study desk to highlight the craftsmanship.

Preservation requires regular cleaning with rice paper and light re-application of traditional choji oil to guard against rust, avoiding direct contact between human skin and the raw steel.
