I apologize. I phrased my original comment poorly. It was traditionally used as a more mid ranged weapon, such as one that could be used on horseback and transition well into uncounted combat. As samurai preferred to fight unmounted, it doesn't surprise me that little to no info or pictures of this are present. The Samurai's entire arsenal was made out of two handed weapons, wi th only the Katana and Odachi having one handed capability. (Discounting the wakazashi, which was used for Sepeku) To that note the Katana doesn't have the length for mounted combat. However, seeing an odachi or a mounted Samurai was rare. The katana just has far greater maneuverability.
