The TONBOGIRI completes the TRIO OF GREAT SPEARS created and crafted by the JAPANESE MASTER BLADE-SMITH MASAZANE FUJIWARA. As this weapon is currently privately owned it’s LEGENDS and DISPLAY are not for… legendary display. A replica can be found in the displays of the IEYASU and MIWA BUSHI MUSEUM. THE GREAT SPEAR TONBOGIRI is of an elegant and streamlined nature. The BLADE is comparatively smaller than the previous two which may indicate a more Ceremonial usage though its nick-name is just as Martial oriented. Oft referred to and termed the DRAGON-FLY CUTTING SPEAR, an obvious ref to it’s bladed keen nature. TONBOGIRI has a BLADE LENGTH app 40cm… whilst the section measurements range indicates a full length of some 10-14 ft. This was also somewhat converted to a hand-spear app 3 ft long,.. as the owner aged. Photo Credit/Thanks:samurai-spirits
