Katana Swords

The Proper Way to Carry the Katana, Wakazashi swords.?

I’ve read that the Samurai would carry these swords through his sash. This leads me to believe that that would allow for slippage and movement of the swords during movement of the body. Modern swords come with a leather strap attached to the scabbard, now then how are these suppose to attach to the body? I could only assume they go over the shoulder but with that that would make drawing the sword more troublesome than wearing them at ones waist. Please help with me research, thank you.

THe ‘proper’ method is doubtlessly with the Obi wrap. Many sword sellers will try to sell them with leather ‘frogs’, which are a Western way of holding sword to a belt. While western sword belts and frogs have some advantages in weight distribution, using a sash defintly holds the sword in a far more stable position (no knocking people with the scabbard when you turn ) I personally prefer the Scottish style of simply carrying the blade in it’s sheath and how you wear your blades should be a matter of personal preference in all but formal situation.s
