Wakazashi is a Japanese sword, similar to, but shorter
than Katana. The wakazashi was usually worn together with
katana by samurai or swordsmen back in feudal Japan. When
worn together, the pair of swords was called daisho, which
literally translates to "large and small." The katana was
often times called the sword or the long sword and the
wakazashi was the companion sword. Wakazashi were made with different shapes and sizes, usually thinner that katana.
Wakazashi as generally used when the Katana wasn't available.
