This openwork stand, crafted with precise angular proportions, transcends its functional purpose to become a representation of antique Japanese artistry, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts.
Tradition and Symbolism in Sword Display
In Japanese tradition, the direction of a sword's handle when displayed is deeply symbolic. Historically, positioning the sword with the handle to the left indicated peace, while the opposite suggested readiness for war. This stand respects these ancient customs, allowing for a display that conveys peace and harmony.
Cultural Etiquette and Respect
Beyond its aesthetic value, this Katanagake embodies the cultural etiquette of sword placement. Traditionally, a sword placed to the right of its owner signifies non-hostility and respect. This stand is not just a piece of furniture; it's a conduit of historical values and meanings, making it an essential item for Japanese art and antique enthusiasts.
