Two-Tier Wooden Samurai Sword Stand - Black Stained Tabletop Display
Stable Construction for Your Collection
The stand is made of lightweight yet sturdy wood. The construction is designed to be stable on a flat surface. The side panels feature shaped notches (forks) on two levels that securely hold the sword scabbards. The lower crossbar is decoratively curved, softening the overall look of the stand. The surface is stained black, which is the most common choice in traditional Japanese interiors for its elegance and ability to match any style of weapon.

Etiquette for Displaying Two Swords
Displaying a pair of swords has its historical rules. The shorter sword (wakizashi) is placed on the top tier, while the longer sword (katana) belongs on the bottom. The reason is practical—in the event of a night attack inside a house where space is tight, the samurai would reach for the short sword first, which is more accessible at the top. Don't forget that the edge should always face upwards to prevent dulling the blade against the inside of the wooden scabbard. The handle (tsuka) pointing to the left signifies friendly intentions in times of peace.
Stand Care
The wooden stand requires little maintenance:
- Dust: Regularly wipe off dust with a dry cloth.
- Lacquer Protection: If you want to protect the lacquer on your sword scabbards, I recommend lining the inside of the forks with a piece of self-adhesive felt or velvet.
- Placement: Do not expose the stand to direct sunlight to prevent the black colour from fading over time.
For perfect care of the blades of your displayed swords, I recommend using traditional clove oil to protect them from corrosion.
