Shirasaya Bag

Shirasaya Bag

This traditional made purple shirasaya bag is manufactured in Japan and is pefect for carrying your blade mounted in shirasaya.

A shirasaya, which means "concealing scabbard", is a mostly-featureless Japanese sword meant for safe holding japanese blades when not in formal fittings. This style of mounting the blade was traditionally utilised for safe keeping or transporting a blade of importance.

Shirasaya style blades would likely never make their way onto a battle-field. However some examples of 'Shirasaya' type blades can be found in cloaked swords. Also, many blades dating back to earlier japanese history are today sold in shirasaya type mountings.
