The wakizashi is a traditional Japanese sword that is shorter than the katana, typically measuring between 12 and 24 inches in blade length. It was often worn together with the katana as part of the samurai’s daishō, symbolizing the wearer’s social status and martial prowess. The wakizashi was used for close combat and as a backup weapon, and it also served practical purposes, such as indoor use where a longer sword might be impractical.
