Polearms and their use in Old Japan

Roald & Patricia Knutsen (2004)

This fully illustrated study of "naginata" and "yari" records the many variations of spear design from the ancient period when warrior chieftains settled in Japan from the Asian mainland, down to the fall of the Tokugawa in 1868 that marked the close of the feudal period."
