Documental que muestra la realización de las katanas samurai. En idioma Japonés. Historia de la Katana La espada fue el arma más importante del Japón medieval, principalmente tras la unificación por el shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (principios del siglo XVII), época de muchos duelos entre Samurais. Tan grande era su importancia que, en 1588, fue declarada privilegio exclusivo de la clase guerrera. “La espada es el alma del Samurai”, dice Tokugawa Ieyasu. Un Samurai era fácilmente reconocible en las calles por portar visiblemente dos espadas, una larga, la Katana (de 60 a 90 cm), usada en las luchas en locales amplios, y una menor, llamada Wakisashi (de 30 a 60 cm), para espacios cerrados (castillos, bosques). Daisho es el nombre dado a este conjunto, y representaba el status máximo de los Samurais, simbolizando, por ser prerrogativa exclusiva de la clase, el orgullo del guerrero. Había una tercer arma, el Tanto, una especie de puñal fino y con un solo filo que se llevaba escondido y era usado sólo en caso de emergencia. La historia de la Katana está ligada a la historia del Japón y al desarrollo de las técnicas de lucha. Su denominación cambia con el período histórico al que pertenecen: 1. Jokoto, desde el año 795 2. Koto (espadas antiguas) 795-1596 3. Shinto (espadas nuevas) 1596-1624 4. Gendaito (espadas contemporáneas) 1876-1953 1.

WARRIOR SERIES: CHISA KATANA Specifications: Weight: 37.1 oz. Blade Thick: 5/16″ Blade Length: 24 1/2″ Handle: 11 1/2″ Samé (Ray Skin). black braid cord with brass Menuki Steel: 1055 Carbon Overall Length: 36″ Sheath: Black Lacquered Wood w/blue violet cover bag The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have proven, since their initial introduction almost five years ago, to be quite popular with many of our customers. Still, we are aware that there are some people who want a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price. Our Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. In our efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades, we have omitted the expensive mirror polishing that we used on our Imperial Swords to create a new series of Japanese swords with a more practical finish. The Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their own right and share the same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial counterparts. Like the Imperial swords, they have Samé covered, cord wrapped handles and quality fittings. If you are in the market for a strong, good looking, reasonably priced Japanese sword we know you’ll be happy to own one of these.
