Description
Originally, the term wakizashi was used to mean any sword worn on the side of the main sword. Later, the term was used to denote the group of swords which were shorter than the main sword of the samurai, and as a result, wakizashi acquired the meaning of the side sword, because a side sword was shorter than the main sword by its nature.

Side knife is missing. Interesting iron handguard. Blade is excellent. Scabbard is excellent. 15" blade. Not sure is original plate appears to be missing from the end of the handle? Overall a very nice example of a 100 year old Japanese sword.
