Shikomizue is the name of a type of Koshirae or mounting, which literally means "prepared stick". There was a blade placed in a stick-like mounting, in order to conceal that it was a sword, for this reason the Shikomizue became very popular in the Meji period (1868-1912), when the carrying of Katana was forbidden.
