Japanese Samurai
often carried out special designed self-defense devices
along with traditional two-katana set (daishyo). Folding
fan Tessen (Gunsen) with iron ribs, had an important
role among them. Tessen was very acceptable
in any situation thus leaving the samurai always armed with
at least one very effective defensive weapon. Practice of
Tessen-jitsu was considered sophisticated part of
the classical Japanese martial art. |
