Tai Ji Sword

A Tai Ji straight sword - currently sheathed - for practising one's forms. 

For a mass-produced item, it is very pretty. 

With animal motifs on the ... hilt? (Sorry, I don't know the different 'body-parts' of swords very well).

Partially unsheathed, to reveal a shiny, unmarred blade.

It is of an ideal length to trip me up, were I to try and walk with it. So I don't. Walk with it, that is. 

I just handle it gingerly from time to time and pretend I live in a time and place where wielding this type of sword is an everyday thing...
