Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct way to arrange a daisho on a two sword stand?
The daisho - the matched katana and wakizashi pair - has a specific and historically established arrangement on a two sword stand. The katana, being the longer of the two swords, occupies the upper tier. The wakizashi occupies the lower tier. Both swords are placed with the cutting edge facing upward and the handle pointing to the right from the viewer's perspective. This arrangement mirrors the standard household display convention in samurai Japan: the longer sword above, the shorter below, both in the same orientation as if ready to be picked up and worn. The tsuba of the katana should be visible and centered on the upper tier, and the tsuba of the wakizashi similarly centered below. If the two swords are a matched set - commissioned or purchased together with coordinating fittings - the visual relationship between the tsuba, handle color, and saya finish becomes part of what the display communicates. A well-arranged daisho on a quality two sword stand is one of the cleaner and more culturally resonant displays in Japanese sword collecting.
Can a two sword stand hold a katana and a tanto together?
Yes. A two sword stand can display a katana and tanto together, though this is less conventional than a katana-wakizashi daisho pairing. The tanto, at roughly 30 to 40 centimeters overall length, sits comfortably on the lower tier of a standard two-tier stand - the peg spacing is more than wide enough for the shorter sword. The katana occupies the upper tier in the normal position. The visual contrast between the two sword lengths on the same stand is significant - the tanto is substantially shorter than the katana - which creates a composition that emphasizes scale difference rather than the matched-length relationship of a daisho. Some collectors use this format intentionally to display different sword types as a size comparison. Others find a tanto displayed alone on a single-tier stand is a cleaner presentation. Either approach is valid depending on what you want the display to communicate.
Are two sword stands compatible with wall mounting?
Some two sword stand models include wall-mount hardware or can be paired with a wall bracket system, while others are designed exclusively as table-top freestanding pieces. The table-top versions in this collection stand independently on a surface and do not require wall installation. If you want to mount two swords on a wall in the two-tier horizontal format, a dedicated wall-mount bracket system designed for two-tier display provides the most secure and correct installation. Wall mounting eliminates the table surface requirement and allows the swords to be positioned at a chosen height, which is an advantage in rooms with limited shelf space. The installation process requires locating wall studs or using appropriate anchors for your wall type, leveling the bracket carefully, and verifying the mounting hardware is rated for the weight of the stand and swords. For renters or collectors who prefer not to put holes in walls, the freestanding table-top format provides a fully equivalent display without any installation.
How far apart should two katana be on a two sword stand to look balanced?
The visual balance of a two-katana display on a two sword stand is determined by the tier spacing of the stand rather than any adjustment on the collector's part. Well-designed stands use a spacing of 12 to 16 centimeters between tier heights, which creates a gap between the lower saya of the upper sword and the upper saya of the lower sword of approximately 8 to 12 centimeters. This spacing is enough for the swords to read as clearly separate pieces without so much space that they look disconnected. The horizontal alignment of both swords - both handles to the same side, both edges facing the same direction - creates visual parallelism that reinforces the paired relationship. If you are displaying two katana of different lengths, the asymmetry in overhang at the handle and tip ends is expected and does not disrupt the balance of the display. The consistent tier spacing and orientation convention is what holds the composition together regardless of individual sword dimensions.

Two very elegant sword stands - photo shows the double but the single is also excellent. Both pieces are simply constructed of very pleasing wood, assembly was easy and took only a minute or two. I am very happy with both these pieces and would recommend them. They may have been designed for katana, but I use them exclusively for Chinese dao and jian swords, and they are perfect for these.

The stand looked great. It was sturdy. However, it was a bit hard to assemble. The grooves in the wood were not cut properly. I ended up having to sand the grooves by hand in order to fit the pieces into the grooves.
