To better preserve their battle blades when not in use for extended periods, samurai historically kept them in a package known as shirasaya. This involved storing the bare blade inside a wooden scabbard and handle to protect it from the outside elements and rust. This is one such bare blade katana mounted with a shirasaya design.<\/p>\n
