DTM72 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Posted August 5, 2021 For display purposes only, has anyone ever mounted a yari on a bamboo pole? If so, any pictures available? I have found limited information on takeyari (竹槍). Quote
Jacques Posted August 5, 2021 Report Posted August 5, 2021 I may be wrong, but it seems to me that takeyari are pointed bamboos used as yari (used by ashigaru or peasants) Quote
DTM72 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Posted August 5, 2021 From what I have read, some of the bamboo had the addition of simple steel spears, not necessarily a forged yari with hamon. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted August 5, 2021 Report Posted August 5, 2021 Dan, such a polearm may well have served as a defense weapon of a peasant, but probably not for SAMURAI. Quote
Jacques Posted August 6, 2021 Report Posted August 6, 2021 During Onin war, peasants became warriors and were the first ashigaru. 1 Quote
