----------

The "Shirasaya" is a traditional sword of Japan. Essentially it is actually more a "housing" with blade, than a complete sword.

Its purpose is to house the blade and keep it safe from the elements, if it did not have full set of traditional fittings. Being the hand-guard, bindings etc. It can still function as a sword to some degree, though not suited to heavy cutting practice and extended use, due to minimal fit out.

Many old and modern blades are sold as shirasaya. Much of the appeal is its minimalist sleek look. A cool "sword" indeed!, and definitely a fav' here at Superior Swords.
