The sword is called a Katana.
The katana originated in the Muromachi period (1392--1573) as a result of changing battle conditions requiring faster response times. The katana facilitated this by being worn thrust through a belt (obi)with the edge of the blade facing up, which allowed the samurai to draw and cut their enemy in a single motion.
The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan, and has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability.
The Katana was a very popular sword to have during the feudal era because of how it looked and how effectively fast it could strike an enemy.
