Tsuba 鍔 are guards for both Katana and Wakizashi. They protect the hands from your opponents sword when parrying / blocking and protect your hands from slipping forward when thrusting. Seppa 切羽 are the spacers found on either side of the tsuba. Changing the tsuba is a fairly easy DIY project that can give your katana or wakizashi a custom look and feel.
