JAC-MTS-504-04 Japanese Armor Workshop "Marutake" made Long and short Samurai swords (with Stone-textured hilts) includes sword stand

Daitō–Shōtō(Long and short Samurai swords) refers to the traditional pairing of two Japanese swords—a long sword and a short sword—worn at the waist by samurai during the Edo period.
This combination was also commonly known as "Daishō" (literally "large and small").
When envisioning a samurai from the Edo period, the iconic image of two swords worn at the waist perfectly represents this Daitō–Shōtō set.

The "Daitō"(long sword) refers to the "Uchi-gatana", while the "Shōtō "(short sword) refers to the "waki-zashi".
The daitō was worn as the main sword (hon-zashi), and the shōtō as a sidearm (waki-zashi).
When both swords were made with matching mountings (koshirae), the set was known as a "Daishō koshirae".
When enter indoors, samurai would remove the "Daitō"(long sword) from their waist and place it on a sword rack or hand it over.
However, the "Shōtō "(short sword) was typically kept at the waist.
Some daitō were fitted with a small accessory blade called a kozuka, which could be used like a throwing knife, similar to a shuriken.
The daitō typically had a blade length of over 60 cm, while the shōtō ranged between approximately 30 to 60 cm.

"Ishime-gara / Stone-textured hilts" refers to a textured pattern applied to the surface of a sword's saya (scabbard), designed to resemble the rough surface of stone or rock
This finish was intended not only to reduce gloss and provide a non-slip grip, but also to enhance the aesthetic value of the koshirae (sword mountings), making it highly regarded as an element of decorative art.
"Ishime-gara", or stone-textured pattern, is a popular and classic choice for replica swords and is often seen in period dramas.
The koshirae of a Japanese sword refers to the exterior fittings designed to protect the blade and make the sword easier to handle.
These fittings are primarily applied to the saya (scabbard) and tsuka (hilt).
The saya is a cylindrical container that houses the blade, while the tsuka is the grip portion that encases the nakago—the unsharpened tang of the blade that fits into the hilt.

The Japanese armor workshop "Marutake" was originally established in 1958 as Marutake, a manufacturer of fishing rods.
As times changed, the founder Mr.Shinobu Tanoue, who had a passion for collecting armor and a strong background in craftsmanship, gradually shifted his focus to the production of traditional armor.
He took on the name "Kōnin" as an armor craftsman (katchūshi) and began training the artisans working under him, laying the foundation for what the workshop is today.
The workshop has been officially designated as a producer of Kagoshima Prefecture Traditional Crafts, and each piece is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans with great dedication.
Traditional techniques from the period are faithfully followed, with meticulous attention paid to even the smallest details.
There are no blueprints—each suit of armor is a unique creation, carefully crafted by the artisan’s aesthetic sensibility and skill, one piece at a time.
Crafted with carefully selected materials and uncompromising attention to detail, each suit of armor is meticulously handmade by master artisans—an exceptional piece that embodies refined craftsmanship and offers a sense of timeless satisfaction.
