The Wakazashi is a short sword used in Japan as early as the 16th century. It is approximately 12-23 inches in length and worn blade edge up. The Wakazashi was worn by the Samurai, along with the Katana as part of a matching set called a Daisho. If the Katana was broken, the shorter Wakazashi could be used in its place. It was also considered bad etiquette to wear a long sword indoors, so by the use of a Wakazashi the Samurai would not be vulnerable indoors.
On Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach, during the summer of 2002, I met a girl with this symbol tattooed on the back of her leg. She was with two guys, who could've been her brothers or on shore leave with her, whatever. I didn't think so and so didn't hit on her, but I wish I had. Tattoos don't make girls beautiful, but some girls...well, oh well that one got away....
