What is Katana?

The katana sword (刀, かたな) was initially adopted as a Samurai blade in the late 13th century. Katana has since become an iconic emblem of the Japanese Samurai tradition. 

The blade's body has artistic significance, distinguishing Katana from other countries' swords. The most recognisable and well-known of all Samurai swords, Katana is a Japanese sword with a curved, single-edged blade, a circular or squared guard, and a long handle to accommodate two hands.

Developed later than the tachi, Katana was used by samurai in feudal Japan and worn with the blade facing upward, which was designed to allow for fast, intimate combat.

Katana is not just a weapon, but also an Art-craft and a gorgeous present for a friend or loved one. From the late Heian period until the early Kamakura period, the beauty of Katana was already recognised by overseas curiosos.
