The wakizashi (Japanese: 脇差, 'side inserted sword'[1]) is one of the traditionally made Japanese swords (nihontō)[2][3] worn by the samurai in feudal Japan.
Its name refers to the practice of wearing it inserted through one's obi or sash at one's side, whereas the larger tachi sword was worn slung from a cord.
