I am sorry to hear that. I know how things like that can be a huge disappointment.
For me, it was not that life altering. It is was just a matter of "life's circumstances" getting in the way, and I had to move to areas that did not have dojos that offered that style of martial arts.

During my search for more samurai armour sets, I can across this site:

Whilst I was going through the site, I came across this page:

This page has two different sword stands that I really like.
This one is a two tiered stand.
Here is the stand with the sword displayed with the sword unsheathed.
Here is an upright stand. This one is similar to the one that comes with the template.
Here is the stand with the sheathed sword next to the armour.
I will be including with stands with this diorama, so that my grandson can choose which one he prefers.
(I will be doing the say thing with my granddaughter's diorama as well).

The sword parts fit perfectly on the stand! This way you can appreciate the sheath and the blade at the same time. Great mix!
