Hanakotoba Katana Sets by Yurica
The kimono is here: Kisetsu Kimono for UNP by Yurica
~~ Description ~~
Hello all ^_^
This mod adds a set of katana which includes a set of daisho (a set of katana with the shorter one as decoration, pls see screenshots), a tachi (one-handed without the shorter one as decoration) and an odachi (two-handed).
The weapons are same level as "Daedric" and can be crafted in the forge under "Daedric" category, they can also be improved in the grinding wheel as usual.
~~ Optional Skeleton ~~
I found the original weapon position for katana is very strange... So I have modified XPMS skeleton position placement, the position you see in the screenshot is the new position. I did not rotate the katana upside down (like how it should be) for compatibility issue, but overall it is better than original placement.
The skeleton is available for download as optional file, please follow the instruction of XPMS installation and then replace it with the optional skeleton of this mod (remember to backup your old one first!!), I suggest to use a custom race with it.
oh, and the skeleton is for female character only :P
~~ Installations ~~
1 - Extract the files to a location. 2 - Place the extracted "meshes" and "textures" folders into your skyrim/data. 3 - Place the yurica_daisho.esp file into skyrim/data. 4 - Activate the .esp. 5- Install the optional modifided XPMS skeleton if you want the weapon placement as in the screenshots. 6 - Enjoy and please don't forget to endorse if you like the mod, thank you & please come visit me on yurica-skyrim @ tumblr ^_^
~~ Others ~~
Please kindly contact me if you have any questions or needs permission, thank you very much!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,006 endorsements and over 72,000 downloads.
- Adds a full set of Japanese swords, giving you variety for different combat styles.
- The optional skeleton shows attention to detail for blade positioning.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or DLCs.
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you're going in blind.
- Only adds weapons—no new animations or gameplay changes.
For Skyrim players who want authentic Japanese katanas to roleplay as a samurai or just add some variety to their weapon collection. If you're looking for gameplay overhauls or new combat mechanics, this isn't it—it's purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to port the mod or use a compatibility patch.
- Check the optional skeleton file—if you use custom body mods, test it to ensure the swords sit correctly on your character.
