    Althoigh this sword\katana discourse is all known at that point, I can’t help myself but adding rapier at the western side to spice things up.

    Would rapier\katana comparison work better?

      Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less “normal warfare” scenarios.
