Question Japanese sword question

Did the Japanese aristocracy have children sized Katanas or other swords made for the kids?

Anybody know where I can get more info on this subject?

I picked this up just yesterday and the gent who sold it to me said his father had it in a trunk with other items from his tour in the west. He had never seen it before. I paid 20$ for it. Take a look at the photos let me know your opinions. Junk, real, bone, ivory, horn, plastic, micarta, old, new just let me know your opinions.
