  Shoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three main divisions of Japanese blade length are: 1 shaku (30.3cm) or less for tanto, 1-2 shaku for shoto, and 2 shaku or more for daito.
Most blades that fall under the shoto size range are wakizashi, however some daito were designed with blades slightly shorter than 2 shaku.
A shoto and a daito together are called daisho (literally "big and small"), the traditional armaments of the samurai.

 Nanpo Shoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nanpo Shoto is a chain of Japanese islands extending from the Izu Peninsula west of Tokyo Bay southward for about 750 miles (1200 km), to within 300 miles (500 km) of the Mariana Islands.
The Nanpo Shoto consists of three major groups of islands: the Izu Shoto ; the Ogasawara Gunto, also known as the Bonin Islands; and the Kazan Retto, also known as the Volcano Islands.
Among the latter group of islands lies Iōjima or Iwo Jima, located about 670 miles south of Tokyo, 700 miles north of Guam and nearly halfway between Tokyo and Saipan.

 JAPANESE SWORD VISUAL GLOSSARY
A set of swords consisting of a long sword (daito) and a short sword (shoto) which are mounted in identical koshirae are referred to as a daisho.
Daisho or daito could only be worn by samurai or higher rank, whereas the short sword (shoto or wakizashi) could be worn by merchants, tradesmen and craftsmen.
This accounts for the increased value of daito (katana or tachi) versus shoto and for the greater numbers of shoto (wakizashi) found today.
