Uchine Japanese Throwing Arrow

A translation of material related to the Uchine, the Japanese Throwing Arrow, a weapon carried by Samurai when they travelled by palanquin. Originating as a weapon of last resort for archers whose bowstring had broken, the Uchine evolved into a close-quarters combat weapon as well as a self-defense weapon when traveling. Includes the origin of this surprising weapon as well as throwing techniques by Fujita Seiko, the 14th headmaster of the Koga School of Ninjutsu. Several blueprints for Throwing Arrow construction from Edo Era documents are included.
