Legality of wearing a sword (single edged)

I'm interested in the legality of wearing a (single edged Katana) sword as part of portraying a fabricated persona or media-figure. My concerns especially relate to various general and public appearances for the purpose of generating publicity. Additionally, the character portrayed is of a spiritual and/or religious nature...
