The katana originated in the Muromachi period(1392-1573) This was because the earlier swords were longer to fit a horse soldier and not a foot soldier these were the tachi sword the predecesor of the katana sword. During the Muromachi period the portuguese brought firearms to Japan thus causing armor to become heavier and thicker thus the katana became hardened.
