Double Sword Stand

A double sword stand is the correct display format for paired Japanese swords. In Japanese sword culture, the daisho - the matched katana and wakizashi set worn as a pair by samurai - was displayed together as a unit on a two-tier stand, with the longer blade above and the shorter below. This arrangement was not merely practical storage: it communicated the sword pair's identity as a matched set and the owner's status through the quality and coordination of the display. The double sword stands in this collection follow this convention in both table-top and wall-mount configurations.

The table-top double sword stand uses a weighted base to remain stable under the combined load of two full-length swords. The two tiers are spaced to provide clearance between the swords and comfortable access to each handle independently. The wall-mount version eliminates the table surface requirement and positions the swords flat against the wall, saving shelf space and creating a cleaner architectural display at whatever height the collector chooses.

For collectors who are not displaying a matched daisho but simply want to show two swords together in an organized format, the double sword stand works equally well for any combination of sword lengths within the standard Japanese range. The black lacquer finish is neutral against all sword presentation styles, and the two-tier format creates a natural visual relationship between whatever pair of swords occupies the display.
