The grim austerity of your typical black-on-black "duty wear" Japanese sword paints a deceptive historical picture. Those in service of the Shogun did typically wear such monochromatic weapons. Typically... But I am not a samurai nor are you. Even the progeny of samurai families (the aristocratic and privileged shizoku class), as of 1945 (post-JV Day and the signing of the MacArthur Treaty) nobody is samurai anymore. The matter is sightly more complicated but I digress... Samurai weren't the only ones who carried swords, were they?
I like pretty swords! I want pretty swords so I make pretty swords. And it's fine. We aren't samurai! And not all of us necessarily roleplay as one. This is a particularly pretty sword!


You would not be incorrect to call this a kodachi, a chisagatana, a wakizashi or an o-tanto. As it is worn edge down, it is most properly a kodachi despite the kurigata. It is just fine worn by itself at the small of the back. It features patinated iron koshirae on the tsuka and saya, yamagane sei over bleached samegawa for a reinforced grip and a mitsudomoe tsuba with karakusa embellishments which is large and offers good hand protection. The style of the blade is called "osoraku zukuri" and has an outsize o-kissaki. It has a detailed kenmakiryu horimono on the blade and a billowy hamon along the cutting edge. Japanese swords do not get much more authentic on IMVU.
