Sword Stands

[Clement]

Nice !

 

But you need this one now, always the same problem when adding a new sword in your collection

And then of course there is the plain storage kake...

Normally my swords are in bags in a tansu and rarely, in a two sword black lacquered kake on top of the tansu, but once in a while I have need of greater display space and this suits my need well.

This one is Japanese, held together by 4 pegs (literally). The original pegs were missing so this is held by 4 wooden clothes pegs...I haven't got around to shaping some proper tight fitting ones yet. This kake can be quickly dismantled and easily moved to another place...not very pretty, but well made and useful...must have come from a budokan or somewhere ($50 in a militaria shop).

That's awesome George!

 

I for one would love to own at least one higher quality traditional Japanese lacquer stand with suitable koshirae for display purpose.

 

For multiple swords display or temporary holding, I think the kake you have is the way to go. Now think of it, I can probably 3D print a shorter/less stack version in my studio. It wouldn't be less expensive to do (for me) or be as visually pleasing as the wood, but it would be a fun project and should serve the purpose equally.
