even though it isn't a sword i thought i would put it here so...
ok i started to gain a lot of interest for yari lately so i went and did a little research but haven't found a lot but found interesting pictures that led me to some conclusions which may or may not be true.
first off i thought i would share some terminology i found (which could be good for neophytes such as me as it comes to yari.
i also found some yari ''buttcap'' or ''ishizuki'' variants
what i really was searching for through my search is for something about fukuro yari since i don'T like to propect of carving the nakago slot for a spear (have you seen the lenght of that nakago?) i was pretty much interested in that style. so what i wanted to know was if there were many geometries in the fukuro style and i found out some pretty nice pieces (shown in another thread about yari that have been made recently) noting a jumonji yari in fukuro style. i also found those diamond shaped ones (which were pretty common for fukuro yari from my understanding) and triangular ones too. hence from what i've discovered in pictures i'm pretty sure pretty much any yari could have been made in fukuro style (probably exept omi yari because of its lenght or if the socket were to be made accordingly it could be also an option). what i'm puzzled about though is when they were actually in use at their earliest and why they were so rare? i would think that a socket could protect a portion of the haft better than a nakago so i'm a bit confused :lol: anyway for some fun here's some pictures of fukuro yari that i found on google
i didn't want to put all the pictures of this one directly on the thread so i'll just put the link for those interested to see it, i think it's a pretty good cover up of a piece (could give some inspiration to some for reviews
) www.touken-matsumoto.jp/eng/prod ... _no=YA-047
and anyone who have thoughts or knowledge about those feel free to chime in and share with us, the more the merrier
