 \nDaitō–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.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis combination was also commonly known as \"Daishō\" (literally \"large and small\").\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen envisioning a samurai from the Edo period, the iconic image of two swords worn at the waist perfectly represents this Daitō–Shōtō set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\"

while the \"Shōtō \"(short sword) refers to the \"waki-zashi\".\u003cbr\u003e\nThe daitō was worn as the main sword (hon-zashi), and the shōtō as a sidearm (waki-zashi).\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen both swords were made with matching mountings (koshirae), the set was known as a \"Daishō koshirae\".\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen enter indoors, samurai would remove the \"Daitō\"(long sword) from their waist and place it on a sword rack or hand it over.\u003cbr\u003e\nHowever, the \"Shōtō \"(short sword) was typically kept at the waist.\u003cbr\u003e\nSome daitō were fitted with a small accessory blade called a kozuka, which could be used like a throwing knife, similar to a shuriken.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe daitō typically had a blade length of over 60 cm, while the shōtō ranged between approximately 30 to 60 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton

rock\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 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

for replica swords and is often seen in period dramas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe koshirae of a Japanese sword refers to the exterior fittings designed to protect the blade and make the sword easier to handle.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese fittings are primarily applied to the saya (scabbard) and tsuka (hilt).\u003cbr\u003e\nThe saya is a cylindrical container that houses the blade, while the tsuka is the
