The tachi (太刀:たち, tachi?) is a Japanese sword, often said to be more curved and slightly longer than the katana. However, Gilbertson, Oscar Ratti, and Adele Westbrook state that a sword is called a tachi when hung from the obi (belt or sash) with the edge down, and the same sword becomes a katana when worn edge up and thrust through the girdle.[1] The "tachi" style was eventually discarded in favor of the katana. tachi-nii · Wed Jun 18, 2008 @ 02:48am · 1 Comments
