The Japanese samurai warriors came into existence in the 12th century when two powerful Japanese clans warred against each other - the Taira and the Minamato. At that time the Japanese shogunate, a system of a military ruler, called the shogun was formed. Under the shogun were the daimyo, local rulers comparable to dukes in Europe. Japanese samurai were the military retainers of a daimyo.

A code of behavior called bushido, meaning "way of the warrior" was the life style of the samurai. Duty and honor, along with complete loyalty towards the lord, the daimyo was the central point of bushido.

Samurai warriors wore two swords - a long one, Katana and a short one, Wakizashi. These swords are famous the world over for there extreme sharp edge, strength and beauty. Owning an authentic Katana or Wakizashi for use or display can now be yours to enjoy!
