    Hi, According Roald and Patricia Knutsen in the book Japanese spears, this kind of yari is called "UEKAMA-JUMONJI-YARI". Always according this book, CHIDORI-JUMONJI-YARI is a yari where the main blade is flanked by two side blades, each downward drooping and having small pointed kissaki, suggesting bird's clawed feet.
