Why Samurai Carried Two Swords (Daishō)

⚔️ Our hand-crafted Japanese swords ► https://katana.store Why did samurai always carry two swords? The daishō (大小), a set consisting of a katana and a wakizashi, was more than just a weapon, it was a mark of status, a tool for survival, and a symbol of power. But how did it go from being mandatory for all samurai to completely banned? This video explores the history of the daishō, from its origins in the battlefields of feudal Japan to its decline during the Meiji Restoration. We’ll uncover how the transition from horseback combat with the tachi led to the rise of the uchigatana, why samurai were legally required to wear two swords during the Edo period, and how the Haitōrei Edict of 1876 stripped them of their blades. Along the way, we’ll dive into the legendary two-sword fighting style of Miyamoto Musashi and the final rebellion of Saigō Takamori, where the last samurai made their final stand against Japan’s modern army to preserve the daishō. 🔎 More about ► https://katana.store/blogs/katana-blo... 💥 Follow us Instagram ►   / katana.storeus   Facebook ►   / katana.storeus   ⏱️ Video Chapters 00:00 Intro 0:24 - The different katanas 0:36 - The rise of the daishō 3:08 - The fall of the daishō #samurai #samuraisword #japanesesword
