The katana is a sword (curved white weapon with a single edge) of more than 60 cm. By extension, the term katana is often used to refer to all Japanese swords (tachi, uchigatana, etc.). Symbol of the samurai caste, the katana is a cutting weapon (the edge is used) and a thrusting weapon (the point is used). It is worn tucked into the belt, with the cutting edge pointing upwards on the left side of the belt (also downwards if the wearer is a rider). The wakizashi-katana set is called the daishō.
