Are there any non-edgy ways to display a wooden sword?

My dad died from COVID a few years back and I got a bunch of his stuff, in it was this wooden japanese sword thing, which looks kinda like this one. I think he was really into Kendo as a kid.

I don’t want to get rid of it as it’s one of the few things I have from him, but at the moment it’s just sitting propped up in a corner of my home office. I’d like to put it on the wall or something, but also I don’t want to be one of those guys who mounts a japanese sword on the wall as that veers into edgelord territory.

So, does anyone know of a non-edgy way of displaying a (wooden) sword?

    Probably not helpful but my dad kept umbrellas, walking sticks and swords (not sharp) in the same cylindrical stand. This only covers the non-edgy aspect though.

      It could give ideas though. Maybe OP can display the sword horizontally on a stand, and display an umbrella above or under it in the same way. Should balance the edgyness
