The other theory is the opposite; the Sanada fortified Ueda Castle.

Is the term for one of the traditionally made Japanese blades in the form of a, or more the straight-headed spear.
The martial art of wielding the yari is called. Early yari are believed to have been derived from Chinese spears, these hoko yari are thought to be from the, and while they were present in early Japan's history, the term yari appeared for the first time in written sources in 1334 but this type of spear did not become popular until the late 15th century.
The original warfare of the was not a thing for commoners. However, the attempted in 1274 and 1281 changed Japanese weaponry and warfare; the fought in tight formations.
They moved in large units to stave off cavalry. Were of much greater military use than swords, due to their longer reach, lighter weight per unit length, their great piercing ability. Swords in a full battle situation were therefore relegated to emergency status from the Heian through the Muromachi periods.Around the latter half of the 16th century, holding pikes with length of 4.5 to 6.5 m became the main forces in armies. They formed lines, combined with soldiers bearing short spears.
Formed a two or three row line, were trained to move their pikes in under command; the yari became more popular than the as a weapon for the, foot troops followed suit and used them extensively. With the coming of the the yari had fallen into disuse. Greater emphasis was placed on small-scale, close quarters combat, so the convenience of swords and lost their practical value.
During the peaceful Edo era yari were still produced although they existed as either a ceremonial weapon or as a police weapon. Yari were characterized by a straight blade that could be anywhere from several centimeters to 3 feet or more in length; the blades were made of the same steel that traditional Japanese swords and arrow heads were forged with, were durable. Throughout history many variations of the straight yari blade were produced with protrusions on a central blade.Yari blades had an long tang. The tang protruded into a re-enforced hollow portion of the handle resulting in a stiff shaft making it nearly impossible for the blade to fall or break off; the shaft came in many different lengths and shapes. These in turn were wrapped in metal rings or wire, affixed with a metal pommel on the butt end. Yari shafts were decorated with inlays of metal or semiprecious materials such as brass pins, or flakes of pearl.

A sheath was part of a complete yari. Various types of yari points or blades existed; the most common blade was a straight, design that resembles a straight-bladed double edged dagger. This type of blade was sharpened like a razor edge. Though yari is a catchall for spear, it is distinguished between yari, which have additional horizontal blades, simple su yari or straight spears.
Yari can be distinguished by the types of blade cross section: the triangular sections were called sankaku yari and the diamond sections were called ryō-shinogi yari.Sankaku yari have a point. A sankaku yari therefore had no cutting edge, only a sharp point at the end; the sankaku yari was therefore best suited for penetrating armor armor made of metal, which a standard yari was not as suited to. There are two types of sankaku yari, sei sankaku yari are yari blades that have a triangular cross section with three equal sides as in an equilateral triangle, hira sankaku which have a triangular cross section with two equal sides like an isosceles triangle. Ryō-shinogi yari, a blade with a diamond shaped cross section. Fukuro yari were mounted to a shaft by means of a metal socket instead of a tang; the socket and blade are forged from a single piece.
Kikuchi yari were one of the rarest designs, possessing only a single edge; this created a weapon that could be used for hacking and resembled a. Kikuchi yari are the only yari. Yajiri nari yari had a broad 'spade-shaped' head, it had a pair of holes centering the two halves.
Yari, cross-shaped called magari yari, looked something similar to a or partisan and brandished a pair of curved blades around its central lance.Called maga yari in modern weaponry texts. Jogekama Yari, a jūmonji yari with a side blade pointing down and a side blade pointing upwards.
Karigata Yari, a jūmonji yari with the two side blades pointing down. Gyaku Yari, a jūmonji yari with the two side blades resembling a pair of buffalo horns.

A, bagging hook or reaping-hook, is a hand-held agricultural tool designed with variously curved blades and used for harvesting, or reaping, grain crops or cutting chiefly for feeding, either freshly cut or dried as hay. Was a synonym but was used to mean any of a number of tools that had a curved blade, sharp on the inside edge such as a. Since the beginning of the hundreds of region-specific variants of the sickle have evolved of iron and steel; this great diversity of sickle types across many cultures can be divided into smooth or serrated blades, both of which can be used for cutting either green grass or mature cereals using different techniques.
The serrated blade that originated in prehistoric sickles still dominates in the reaping of grain and is found in modern grain-harvesting machines and in some kitchen knives; the development of the sickle in can be traced back to times that pre-date the. Large quantities of sickle blades have been excavated in sites surrounding that have been dated to the era.Formal digs in Ziqlab, have unearthed various forms of early sickle blades.
The artifacts possessed a jagged edge; this intricate ‘tooth-like’ design showed a greater degree of design and manufacturing credence than most of the other artifacts that were discovered. Sickle blades found during this time were made of and used in more of a sawing motion than with the more modern curved design. Flints from these sickles have been discovered near, which suggest the harvesting of grains from the area about 10,000 years ago; the sickle had a profound impact on the by assisting in the transition to farming and crop based lifestyle. It is now accepted that the use of sickles led directly to the domestication of Near Eastern Wild grasses. Research on domestication rates of wild cereals under primitive cultivation found that the use of the sickle in harvesting was critical to the people of early Mesopotamia; the narrow growing season in the area and the critical role of grain in the late Neolithic Era promoted a larger investment in the design and manufacture of sickle over other tools.Standardization to an extent was done on the measurements of the sickle so that replacement or repair could be more immediate.
It was important that the grain be harvested at the appropriate time at one elevation so that the next elevation could be reaped at the proper time; the sickle provided a more efficient option in collecting the grain and sped up the developments of early agriculture. The sickle remained common both in the and in. Numerous sickles have been found deposited in hoards in the context of the European, suggesting a symbolic or religious significance attached to the artifact. In archaeological terminology, sickles are classified by the method of attaching the handle.
The knob-sickle is so called because of a protruding knob at the base of the blade which served to stabilize the attachment of the blade to the handle. The sickle played a prominent role in the ' Ritual of oak and as described from a single passage in: Due to this passage, despite the fact that Pliny does not indicate the source on which he based this account, some branches of modern have adopted the sickle as a ritual tool.The sickle has been discovered in southwest with a unique structure. These sickles are said to have originated from the.
There is evidence that islanders had for cutting grass “sickles made of a sharpened shoulder blade”; the artifacts found in present-day and resemble curved tools that were made from the horns of mountain sheep. A similar site discovered sickles made from other material such as the, made from a deer.
Scripture from early natives document the use of these sickles in the cutting of grass; the instruments ranged from 13 to 16 inches tip to tip. Several other digs in eastern Arizona uncovered wooden sickles that were shaped in a similar fashion; the handles of the tools help describe how the tool was held in such a way so that the inner portion that contained the cutting surface could serve as a gathering surface for the grain. Sickles were sharpened by scraping a shape beveled edge with a coarse tool; this action has left marks on artifacts.The sharpening process was necessary to keep the cutting edge from being dulled after extended use. The edge is seen to be quite polished, which in part proves that the instrument was used to cut grass. After collection, the grass was used as material to create bedding; the sickle in general provided the convenience of cutting the grass as well as gathering in one step. In, the sickle is used as a tool to harvest rice.
Rice clusters are left to dry in the sun; the genealogy of sickles with serrated edge reaches, when individual pieces of were first attached to a “blade body” of wood or bone. Teeth have been cut with hand-held chisels into iron, steel-bladed sickles for a long time.
In many countries on the African continent and South America as well as the Near and Far East this is still the case in the regions within these large geographies where the traditional village remains alive and well.
