Samurai with shields used various defensive tactics in battle to protect themselves and their allies. They would position their shields strategically to block incoming attacks, creating a barrier between themselves and their opponents. Additionally, they would use their shields to deflect blows and create openings for counterattacks. Samurai also employed footwork and agility to maneuver effectively with their shields, ensuring they could defend against multiple attackers and maintain their defensive stance.
Traditional samurai shields, known as tate, were typically made from materials such as wood, metal, and leather. The wooden frame was covered with layers of lacquered paper or leather to provide protection. Techniques such as lacquering, metalworking, and leatherworking were used in the creation of these shields.
