John Lee Kamakura Tachi
The Kamakura period (1185-1333) was a pivotal era in Japanese history. It marks the first military government (shogunate), which was officially established in 1192 by Shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo. The name refers to the then seat of government in the city of Kamakura, about 50 km southwest of Tokyo. Tachi was mostly worn on the battlefield in close combat along with armor and a combat knife. Unlike the Katana, the Tachi was worn hanging from the belt with the blade facing down.
John Lee Kamakura Tachi stands out with its discreet appearance. Later replicas, on the contrary, were often richly decorated and had only ceremonial purposes. The hand-forged blade is made of hardened carbon steel and sharpened. The handle is traditionally wrapped in black silk lined with genuine stingray leather. Typical features (Tsuba, Menuki, Fuchi and Kashira) follow historical examples. It consists of leather inserts and two-tone high-class Sageo cotton.
The Tachi comes in a collector's box, with a canvas bag, stamp and certificate.
