Katana

The Katana is a large part of Rokugani culture. It acts as both the soldier's standard-issue weapon and as a symbol of a samurai's status. Its design is that of a single-edged sword approximately three feet long and having a slight curve.

By Imperial Decree, only memebers of the Samurai cast (see Celestial Order) are permitted to carry and use a Katana. Rokugani culture dictates that when samurai use the Katana when fighting one another.
