Descrição
Whereas the katana represents a samurai’s status as a warrior, the wakizashi represents their place in Rokugan’s social order and strict caste system. The wakizashi is a small, katana-like sword usually two to three feet in length, with the same flexible blade and lethal edge. It is often made as part of a pair, with the same decorations as its matched katana. The wakizashi also fills another role: it clearly signals that its wearer is a samurai, and a person of honor who will make the ultimate sacrifice for their ideals and their master. It is the tool with which a samurai commits seppuku: ritual suicide, the last protest of an aggrieved and honorable samurai.
