Marto - Immortal Wakizashi

The Wakizashi, which means "side-inserted sword," is one of the traditionally crafted Japanese swords worn by the samurai class in feudal Japan
The wakizashi, worn together with the katana, was the official symbol that the wearer was a samurai or swordsman of feudal Japan. When they are worn together, the pair of swords is called Daisho, which literally translates to "large-small"
The Wakizashi was one of several short swords available for samurai, including the Tanto
While wearing a katana was restricted to the samurai class, the Wakizashi of legal length (ko-wakizashi) could be worn by the Chonin class, which included merchants. This was common while traveling due to the risk of encountering bandits. Wakizashi were worn on the left side, attached to the waist sash
