The surprising reason why samurais always carried two swords! Explained by a katana sword trainee
[ Ссылка ]
During the war eras, two katana swords, one long and one short, were used for different situations in battle.
In the peaceful Edo period, carrying two katana swords was a law that the samurai had to follow as a symbol of their authority.
The culture of carrying two katana swords started from the time samurai were fighting duels on horseback during the Heian period (794~1185).
They carried one longer katana and one shorter katana for close combat.
Coming into the peaceful Edo period (1603~1868) there were no more wars, but the shogunate (samurai administration) defined by law that samurai must carry two swords (uchi-katana & wakizashi), as a part of the policy to clearly divide the people by their social classes.
The samurai always had the shorter wakizashi on them, but the longer uchi-katana
was only on their waist when they walked outside.
