Some people think during the Edo Period (1615~1867) samurai always carried two swords which are wakizashi, katana and tanto but this is a MYTH.
So you think that the Samurai always carried two swords? Wrong! Today I am going to prove to you the truth about the swords of the Samurai. Let’s go!
The Samurai swords are famous all over the world for their beauty and deadliness, but I was shocked when I discovered that so many myths about them were being taught as facts!
Most people think that the Samurai of the warring periods would always carry their two swords: katana and wakizashi. However, this is actually not true at all.
There are three reasons why everyone is confused by this myth, the first reason is this man, Miyamoto Musashi! Musashi is famous for having fought in sixty duels and winning every single one of them! He also wrote the “Book of Five Rings” and created the still school of Ni-Ten-ichi-ryu, which teaches using two swords at once.Everyone who knows of Musashi often presumes that this is a typical thing of the Samurai. 180cm tall
Musashi would say a Samurai had failed on the battlefield if he died without drawing both swords. #katana #wakizashi #samurai
