The Katana and Wakizashi pair, known as daisho, were the signature weapons of the samurai. While the Katana was the primary battlefield weapon, the Wakizashi served as a backup and symbol of status. Together, they represent the pinnacle of Japanese sword-making tradition, showcasing the balance between form and function that defines Japanese blade craftsmanship. The Wakizashi's role was distinct from the longer Tachi, which predated the Katana in samurai warfare.
