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.
I'm a little mad at myself. My brother Mike and I chilled in Hawaii and spent a lot of time in the sun. We had sunblock on and thought we were being healthy but also thought we were getting tan, only to later learn that we should have been using sunscreen instead of sunblock. Who tells this to average dudes living in southern California? Oh well, my tattoos are happy for the mistake.
