There
are different ways on how the katana and wakizashi are worn.
This depends on the style of swordmanship that is practiced.
The instructions below give a proper way how they could
be worn:
The
wakizashi is slipped in under all the layers of the obi
on the left side with the edge up. The tsuba should be in
front of the navel.
The
katana is also placed on the left side, but is slipped in
below all the layers of the obi but one. The edge of the
katana should be up. The saya kurikata (knob on the saya
where the sageo is tied) should be just abve the obi.
The
katana is held with the left hand. You hold the saya and
place your thumb on the tsuba to hold it in place.
