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. |
