DAISHO DRAGON WEAPONS

Have you ever heard about what was a central weapon of choice of the Samurai, and actually a Samurai’s spirit? Have you ever seen a very stylish and richly decorated weapon with a dragon and sun? Daisho dragon is the one.
The beginnings of a Daisho dragon weapons can be traced back to the turbulent period of Japanese history between the 8th and 16th Century. Around this time Shogunates rose and fell, one person would be in charge of a province, then someone else would take it over; province boundaries also moved in the same way.
Classical weapon systems were developed on the battlefield as well as close fighting techniques.
The Katana was accompanied by a matching Wakazashi; these formed a pair known as a Daisho. It was considered impolite to wear a Katana inside, but the Wakazashi would always be worn, so the Samurai was not defenseless.
At home samurai put their Daisho on a double-rack, edge up, katana on top, Tsuka to the left. Actually they were greeted at the entrance of the house by their wives, who carried the swords after pulling the sleeves of their kimono over their hands in order to not touch the swords with their bare skin. They then put a Tanto into their sash, which was not subject to any restrictions, and was often lavishly decorated.
Although commoners weren't allowed to carry any swords, some of them, especially rich merchants, showed off their wealth by sporting expensive Tanto, walking a very thin line between status symbol and severe punishment. Physicians wore Tanto made of solid wood, and firefighters sometimes had a Tanto with a saw instead of a blade.
As already mentioned, a Daisho is the Katana/Wakizashi or Katana/Tanto pair that was one of the outer attributes of the samurai. Most Daisho were mounted on suite, but actually any combination of a short and a long sword is considered a Daisho; and it is either a Wakizashi or a Tanto together with the katana, never both.
The Katana was treated with great reverence at all times, there manufacture was also of great importance and the making of a blade became an art form in itself. Over the years the Dasho Dragon slayers becomes a great value, and it shows a perfect personal taste.
