Description

The present invention relates to a foldable sword rack for hanging a Japanese sword.

Competitions in Iaido, a martial art that uses Japanese swords (serious swords or mock swords), are held regularly. In iaido tournaments, there is usually no clear place to place the Japanese swords of the participants, so they are usually placed flat on the floor next to a wall in the venue, or at the foot of the audience seats. For this reason, contestants often collide with surrounding structures or other people's belongings when taking out their own Japanese swords from among the Japanese swords laid out in a disorderly manner, or when they walk, they collide with other contestants' Japanese swords. There is a risk of accidentally kicking the sword.

A cheap Japanese sword costs several hundred thousand yen, and even a mock sword without a blade costs tens of thousands of yen. Additionally, if the wooden parts of a Japanese sword are scratched or dented, they cannot be restored to their original state, and repairs are costly. Therefore, in an iaido tournament, it is best to provide a dedicated place for the Japanese sword at the venue and place it on a sword stand (for example, see Patent Document 1).
