Sharp Tachi John Lee model Kamakura. The Kamakura Period (1185-1333) was a crucial era in Japanese history. The John Lee Kamakura Tachi stands out for its understated optics. Later replicas, by contrast, were often richly decorated and for ceremonial purposes only. The hand-forged blade is made of sharpened, tempered carbon steel. The hilt is traditionally wrapped with black silk covered with original ray skin. Typical features (Tsuba, Menuki, Fuchi and Kashira) follow historical examples. The detailed stand consists of leather inlays and a high-quality two-tone cotton Sageo.
The Kamakura Period (1185-1333) was a crucial era in Japanese history. It marks the first military government (shogunate), officially established in 1192 by the shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo. The name refers to the seat of government at the time in the city of Kamakura, about 50 km southwest of Tokyo. The Tachi was primarily used on the battlefield in close combat in conjunction with armor and a combat knife. Unlike the Katana, the Tachi was worn hanging from the belt with the cutting edge down.
