Mustard has just started releasing its new line of fun and creative book holders, starting with the Katana bookend. They are the perfect addition to all ninja libraries and temples.
The creative book holders feature a Katana sword that appears to be impaling any books that dare to be held by it. With crisp lines and realistic handle design, the sword is very pleasing to the eye.
The books that are attached to the swords will not only make you appear to be a well-read ninja, but they offer playful and fun titles likely to crack a smile on even the most stoic ninja. Additionally, the added books create the illusion that the sword is actually poked through one’s books—but no one has to know it isn't real. Ninjas are very good at keeping secrets.
