Kodachi
Kodachi Sword
By Kunimune
Kamakura period, 13th century.
A kodachi is a short tachi. It considers that a kodachi was hung like a tachi in the waist. A tachi is hung with the string in the waist. But, as for the use, it isn't clear. As for the length, it looks like a wakizashi. Kunimune was a katana-kaji in Bizen (Okayama Prefecture).
