Lets ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto | Katana vs. Tachi: The Obvious Difference @LetsaskShogo | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 7 hours ago
Not only when you decorate them, but Uchi-katana has the sharp edge up, and the Tachi has the sharp edge down when you equip them on your waist too. This time, what’s more important is not the “front side” but whether it’s easier to draw. Using equipment, Tachi were hanging on your waist, so they would be positioned very low. It would be very difficult to draw if you had the sharp edge facing up. On the other hand, Uchi-katana are inserted into your obi belt, so its positioned much higher. Also, Iai techniques require you to unsheath and sheath in the fight, so you can easily cut your hands with the sharp edge down. I sometimes see people saying, “I am a Ronin, so I can have my Uchi-katana facing down if I want to. ”But you’re not a Ronin having the sharp edge down. You’re just very weak. Because if doing that way was better, someone must have thought of it during the few 100 years of samurai history. There are meanings to how things were done in the past. If you can’t agree with that, you shouldn’t try to train in traditional martial arts.
