Marius Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 looks like a ninja implement - for climbing walls? Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Posted November 19, 2008 Can't question its legitimity as the acution is still active, but in the best case it's an Edo oddity with no practical use... At least AFAIK. Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Not a shinobi weapon, nor a wall climber... Probably a Kabuki demon prop... to make the Oni look more scary... KM Quote

KM If it is all copper, than I would agree, if hesitantly. Those claws and spikes look like they could inflict injuries. I would say it is iron, lacquered. A Kabuki demon accessory would be made of wood I suppose - less work, easier to produce... Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 good point, though it might also be a sci fi filmprop.... though i dont know which one... could be from Casshern... ill check some vids.. KM Quote
Kevin Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Chinese and modern. Seen them before. It's more of a fantasy implement than a repro of anything historical though. It's certainly neither tekagi nor neko-te. Kevin Quote
