The wakizashi is a sword that samurai wore with their katanas. These kinds of swords were only made prior to the 10th century. Other long Japanese swords include tsurugi and ken, which are double-edged and straight. This curved long sword only has one blade, and was used by samurai during the 15th century and beyond. The most well known Japanese sword is the katana. The curvature of the samurai sword as developed after the 10th century allowed for the cutting of an opponent while in motion. The most sought after Japanese swords are those that were created during the 10th to 16th centuries when horseback warfare was most common.
