Lets ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto | Katana on the Right Waist @LetsaskShogo | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 7 hours ago
Many people ask me if they can have their katana on their right waist because they are left-handed. The answer may differ depending on who you ask, but my senseis and I would say NO. This is because having your katana on your right waist was forbidden in the past. To carry on iai as a traditional culture, the old customs must be followed at a certain level. Otherwise, the original form will be lost. However, some left-handed people claim this is "discriminatory." However, the left hand is very important in Iai techniques such as katana drawing and sword swinging. In addition, many swordsmen who have left their names in history, such as Miyamoto Musashi and Saito Ichi, are left-handed. In other words, right-handed and left-handed people have different starting points; eventually, we must master both hands.
