Where Will It Find Its Place?
This stand, known in Japanese as a Katanakake (刀掛け), is not just a practical accessory but also a striking decorative piece. It can become the focal point of your collection in a living room, study, or even a dojo. It also makes an excellent gift for anyone who admires Japanese culture, samurai, or is involved in martial arts.
The Tradition of Sword Display
Displaying swords has a long tradition in Japan and follows certain etiquette. The set of two swords, a long one (katana) and a short one (wakizashi), is called the daishō (大小) and was the status symbol of the samurai. On a stand, swords are typically placed with the cutting edge facing upwards. This not only protects the blade from dulling but also symbolizes a state of peace (the sword is not ready for an immediate draw). The presence of the "Ninja" character gives the stand a specific theme, which will be particularly appreciated by fans of the silent warriors and the art of ninjutsu.
How to Care for Your Stand
To maintain the stand's beauty for years to come, simply follow a few basic rules.
- Dust it with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals.
- Protect the stand from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent damage to the lacquer or warping of the wood.
