Single Tier Black Solid Wood Sword Stand
Traditional and Gentle Storage
In Japan, this type of stand is called a Katanakake. Its design is not accidental—it is engineered so that the sword rests in a horizontal position. This is crucial for Japanese swords. Horizontal storage ensures that the oil treating the blade remains evenly distributed over the entire surface and does not run down to the tip (kissaki), where it could damage the scabbard wood. The stand features two U-shaped forks that securely embrace the scabbard (saya) and handle without scratching them. A stable base on small feet ensures the stand won't tip over.

Display Etiquette
Even displaying a sword has its rules. The sword should always be placed in the stand with the edge facing up. This protects the edge from dulling against the inside of the wooden scabbard. If you want to create an atmosphere of peace and friendship in the room, place the sword so that the handle (tsuka) points to the left. Historically, this signalled that it is not easy to draw the sword immediately with the right hand, implying the owner has no offensive intentions.
Stand Care
The stand is made of natural material, so it requires basic maintenance:
- Dust: Regularly wipe off dust with a dry soft cloth to make the black finish stand out.
- Placement: Do not expose the stand to direct sunlight or radiant heat from radiators to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
- Moisture: Wood does not tolerate excessive moisture well. Do not use wet sponges for cleaning, only a slightly damp cloth.
To ensure your sword remains safe and in top condition on this stand, I recommend using a traditional sword cleaning kit with oil and rice paper.
