Japanese Carved Wood Sword Stand | Katana Kake Rack | Sculpted Cloud Motif | Display Mount | Approx 38cm

Japanese Carved Wood Katana Sword Stand Rack

This traditional Japanese sword rack (katana kake) is designed as a low, architectural stage for a mounted blade. Carved in dark wood with a sculpted central panel, it offers the dignified presence associated with tokonoma display culture—where objects are not merely stored, but composed within the room as symbols of lineage, taste, and restraint.

The silhouette is intentionally balanced: two upright posts rise with a gentle branching profile, while the central crosspiece carries a carved relief that reads like a rolling cloud or stylized wave. This motif is a classic choice for sword furnishings, suggesting movement and spirit while keeping the overall impression disciplined and quiet.

The listing describes a convenient assembly style, making it practical for collectors who want a stable display without the bulk of permanent cabinetry. Light wear and small marks are consistent with use and age; these should be read as honest handling rather than flaws, especially in a piece intended for display in lived interiors.

Sized at approximately 38 cm wide and 38 cm high, this stand is well suited to katana or wakizashi presentation depending on mounting length and balance. It also functions beautifully as a curated display object even without a blade—an understated sculptural accent that signals Japanese heritage collecting with minimal effort.

Wear and small marks are consistent with use and handling. A strong choice for collectors of Japanese arms decor, martial arts interiors, and curated display furniture.
