Uses of Katana:

1. Test Cutting (Tameshigiri): This is a practice done by martial arts practitioners to test both the katana's quality and the swordsman's technique. Typically, targets include rolled and soaked straw mats or bamboo.

2. Art Collection: Many people collect katanas as a form of art due to their aesthetic value. Antique katanas, especially those made by renowned swordsmiths, are particularly prized.

3. Home Décor: A katana can be used as a decorative item, often displayed on a specially designed stand. This use combines appreciation for the sword's aesthetic and historical value.

4. Cosplay and Festivals: Katanas are often part of the costume in cosplaying, especially for characters in anime, manga, or samurai films. They're also used in festivals, often in dance performances or parades.

5. Self-Defense: Historically, katanas were used for self-defense by the samurai class. In modern times, they're generally not practical or legal for such uses, but there are instances of them being used in this way.
