It is characterized by the first military government (shogunate), established in 1192 by Minamoto no Yoritomo. The name of this period comes from the seat of government at the time, which was located in the city of Kamakura (approximately 50 km southwest of Tokyo). Along with armor (yoroi) and the combat knife (tanto), the tachi was commonly used on the battlefield. Unlike the katana, the tachi is attached to the belt with its defensive hook and is worn with the blade pointing downwards.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe John Lee Kamakura tachi has a deliberately simple appearance, distinguishing it from later replicas, which were usually richly decorated and used only for ceremonial purposes. The hand-forged blade is made of hardened, razor-sharp carbon steel. The handle is traditionally wrapped in black silk and lined with genuine ray skin. The decorations (tsuba, menuki, fuchi, and kashira) are typical of a tachi and based on historical originals. The detailed military hanger is made of high-quality, two-color sageo leather and cotton inlay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The sword is delivered with a printed cloth bag, a collector's box, a seal, and a certificate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material: carbon steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length to tsuba: approx. 76 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Handle length: approx. 32.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Total length without cover: approx. 109 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Weight without cover: approx. 1240g\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
