Japanese samurai sword

Also known as the Japanese sword or samurai sword, it is a symbol of the Japanese samurai class, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique aesthetic design. This type of knife originated during the Heian period (794-1185) and was further developed and perfected during the Muromachi period (1336-1573) and Edo period (1603-1868). Not only is it a combat tool, but it is also an important component of Japanese culture. It represents the honor, courage, and skills of warriors, and is a manifestation of the spirit of warriors. Over time, samurai swords gradually transformed from actual combat tools to objects for collection and artistic appreciation.
