Ryo shinogi fukuro yari, traditional japanese spear, collectible

Description

Hello everybody.
Early yari are believed to have been derived from Chinese spears. These hoko yari are thought to be from the Nara period (710–794). While they were present in early Japanese history, the term 'yari' appeared for the first time in written sources in 1334 and this type of spear did not become popular until the late 15th century. The original warfare of the bushi was not a thing for commoners; it was a ritualized combat usually between two warriors who would challenge each other via horseback archery. In the late Heian period, battles on foot began to increase and naginata, a polearm, became a main weapon along with a yumi.
This spear is made by me personally. The head of the spear is made of steel, the shaft is made of linden wood and covered with linseed oil. Dimensions are shown in one of the photos.
