*The content is based on personal studies and experience
There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects

1. Odachi is simply “a long sword,”while Nodachi was used on the battlefield
2. Odachi is longer than Nodachi (Nodachi: blade length 90cm or longer, Odachi: about 150cm) *Two different theories

Odachi and Nodachi were very large katana that were mainly used on horseback, from the Kamakura (1185-1333) to the Sengoku era (1467-1615).
It was meant for the samurai to appeal to their strength and bravery, which was thought of as something honorable for a warrior at the time.

However, the definition of Odachi and Nodachi are actually not clearly defined and there is no correct answer. For example, depending on the researcher or study, the term “katana” can represent 5 to 9 (or even more) types of swords.

It might be useful to remember though, that “O” of Odachi simply means “big,” while “No” of Nodachi means “wild/vulgar.” So I personally understand that “Odachi” is a general term for the very long katana and “Nodachi” is a kind of “Odachi” that was meant to be actually used in battle.

By the way, the largest Nodachi (used in battle) recorded in history had a blade length of 282cm, and the longest Odachi that exists today is 345.5cm (full length 465.5cm) which is dedicated to a shrine (in Yamaguchi prefecture).
