New - Hand forged Paul Chen Miyamoto Musashi Wakizashi

This auction is for the Hanwei by Paul Chen Miyamoto Musashi Wakizashi sword. During the Muromachi period (1568-1603), the introduction of the pairing of the Daito (katana or long sword) and Wakizashi (short sword) was introduced. The Wakizashi, or the shorter companion blade to the Daito, was about 18 inches long. Only the warrior class - the Samurai - was allowed to wear the two swords, which remained a custom for the next several hundred years until abolished in the 19th century. This Wakizashi (1017-GT) is the companion piece to the Musashi Miyamoto Daito (1016-GT) with matching fittings and blade construction.

Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the most famous sword-master in Japanese history, fought more than 60 duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the "Book of Five Rings.” Musashi was well above average height and his Daito (katana or long sword) was made to match his size. Development of the two-sword style of swordplay, with the Daito and Wakizashi being used together, is credited to Musashi. Reputedly two-handed movements of temple drummers inspired him. Musashi was probably able to do this due to his unusually large size; most of his contemporaries held their long sword with both hands.
