Why Policemen Used Non-Curved Katana (The History of Katana Swordsmanship)
One of the Japanese katana’s biggest characteristics is that it’s curved, right? However, there are some katana that aren’t. “Oh yeah, you’re talking about those ancient Japanese swords, right?” Nope, I’m not. This straight katana was used by a group of swordsmen who fought in the Meiji period (1868~1912). Who were they? Why did they use these katana? By unraveling this mystery, we can see why katana and Budo martial arts are still important in Japan today.
So today, I will explain the purpose of curvature on a katana. Next, I will explain the historical process that led to the creation of this straight katana. Finally, we will explain how history was changed by the straight sword and the men who handled it. Please be sure to watch this video to the end, as it will incredibly deepen your knowledge of the history of the Katana and the martial arts. If you have any other questions about katana, please let me know in the comments!
