Japanese Wooden Sword Rack | 5-Slot Katana & Wakizashi Stand | Compact Multi-Blade Display | Approx 46cm Width

Japanese Wooden Sword Rack – 7 Slot

This traditional Japanese wooden sword rack is designed to hold multiple blades in a compact, orderly arrangement. Featuring five stepped slots, it accommodates katana, wakizashi, or mixed sword displays while maintaining a restrained architectural profile.

Multi-slot racks of this type were commonly used in domestic interiors, dojo spaces, and storage rooms where efficient organization and respect for the blades were essential. The tiered side profiles allow each sword to rest securely without visual congestion, while the crossbars provide structural rigidity.

Visible wear and age-related marks are present and consistent with historical use. These characteristics reflect the rack’s functional life and should be read as honest patina rather than defects.

With a hanging width of approximately 46 cm, this rack offers a balance between capacity and footprint, making it suitable for collectors seeking a practical yet traditional presentation solution.

A Note on Stewardship and Collecting

At Japonista, we approach Buddhist statues, sacred images, and ritual objects not merely as collectibles, but as cultural and spiritual artifacts deserving of respect, understanding, and careful presentation. Every piece we offer is thoughtfully examined, researched, and curated with sensitivity to its origin, meaning, and historical role.

Our role is not only to offer access to rare and meaningful objects, but to serve as responsible custodians—connecting the right works with collectors who value depth, intention, and authenticity.

Some of the cultural and heritage works may allow room for discussion, while others are held firmly due to rarity, condition, or cultural importance. All inquiries are reviewed personally and discreetly, and we welcome thoughtful questions or expressions of interest.
