Samurai, originally the Chinese verb 'Saburau' described as 'those who serve in close attendance with nobility'
Odachi (large/great sword) or nodachi (field sword) was a type of traditionally made Japanese sword used by the Samurai class of fuedal Japan.
To qualify as an odachi, the sword must have a blade length of 35.8inches.
The Chinese equivalent of this type of sword in terms of weight and length is the 'miao dao' and the Western battlefield equivalent was the longsword or claymore.
This pendant is a numbered piece and will be supplied in presentation box and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
