Simple Tachi

Below is a picture showing my latest Japanese sword, a simple tachi (which is longer than the katana, by the way) leaning on a black sword stand. The usual sword stand for katana, wakizashi and tanto displays the swords horizontally. But for tachi, because they are longer, displaying them horizontally takes up space. So tachi are usually displayed in this manner on sword stands specially made. And yes, they are placed upside down, don't ask me why.
