Wakizashi Black Wood of the Exclusive Collection "Oriental Weapons" made by MARTO®
Certificate of Origin and Quality. Made in Toledo, Spain.
The wakizashi being worn together with the katana was the official sign that the wearer was a samurai or swordsman of feudal Japan. When worn together the pair of swords were called daishō, which translates literally as "big-little".
The wakizashi was one of several short swords available for use by samurai including the tantō.
While the wearing of katana was limited to the samurai class, wakizashi of legal length (ko-wakizashi) could be carried by the chonin class which included merchants. This was common when traveling due to the risk of encountering bandits. Wakizashi were worn on the left side, secured to the waist sash.

If you are interested in the legendary Samurai, their weapons and armour, we have dedicated a few articles to those topics before. But there is one more, less popular subject relating to Ancient Japanese warfare - the Japanese infantry, consisting not only of the Samurai, but for the most part, of the so-called Ashigaru, foot soldiers recruited from broad strata of the population.
