8-Tier Solid Wood Samurai Sword Stand
Construction and Design
The stand is crafted from high-quality solid wood, providing the necessary stability even when fully loaded with eight weapons. The surface is stained in an elegant black colour, which allows the beauty of the swords themselves to stand out, whether their scabbards (saya) are lacquered, wooden, or leather-wrapped. The structure consists of two vertical side pieces with eight levels of notches and sturdy bases, connected by crossbars for maximum rigidity. The swords are stored horizontally, stacked one above the other.

History and Display Method
In Japan, sword stands are called Katanakake. Horizontal storage is the most traditional and gentle method for Katanas, as the oil inside the scabbard distributes evenly along the blade and does not run down to the tip. This type of stand, capable of holding a large number of swords, was historically often seen in dojos (training halls) or in the armouries of wealthy samurai families, where equipment for the entire family or retinue needed to be stored efficiently.
Care and Maintenance
To keep both the stand and swords safe:
- Stability: Ensure the stand is placed on a flat and solid surface. A fully loaded stand has a higher centre of gravity, so ensure nothing can bump into it.
- Cleaning: Wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid wet cleaning to prevent the wood from warping.
- Storing Swords: Place the swords into the stand carefully to avoid scratching the lacquer on the scabbard (saya) against the wood of the stand. The sword should always be stored edge up (so the edge does not rest on the inside of the scabbard).
For maintaining your collection, you might find a traditional sword cleaning kit with clove oil useful.
