Crane katana of marto

Historically, the katana was one of the traditional Japanese swords used by the samurai of feudal Japan.

The first use of the word katana as a name for a long sword that was different from a tachi dates back to the Kamakura period (1185–1333).

The katana was often paired with a similar, smaller sword, such as a wakizashi, or it could also be carried with the tanto, a smaller, similarly shaped dagger. Combining a katana with a smaller sword is called a daisho. Only samurai were allowed to wear the daisho: it represented the samurai's social power and personal honor.

The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, thin, single-edged blade with a circular guard and a long, two-handed handle. It was historically associated with the samurai of feudal Japan.
