Japon - Lot 159
Japon Japanese edo spear. sodegarami (袖 搦, handle tangle ) is a polearm that was used by the samurai class and their servants in feudal Japan. The sodegarami is a type of men's catcher . It is about 2 meters long. The opposite end of the pole has a metal cap or ishizuki, like those found on naginata and other pole weapons. The sodegarami , tsukubō ( push rod) and sasumata (spear fork) comprise the torimono sandōgu (three instruments of arrest) used by the samurai police to capture suspected criminals unharmed. The sodegarami was used to entangle the sleeves and clothing of an individual who could then be more easily disarmed or processed. The sodegarami evolved from the yagaramogara, which was a long pole instrument used by naval forces.
