What weopons do samurais have?

Answer 1

Samurai have a long laundry list of weapons to choose from. The traditional weapon of samurai would be a katana. A katana is a Japanese sword, kept in a sheath, the way of the sword is kenjitsu, a katana is curved. A nodachi is a extremely large katana that can be over a yard long, Kojiro Sasaki could hold a nodachi with one hand. A yari is a Japanese spear. A naginata is a girl samurai's weapon, it is like spear, except the blade is curved. A yumi is a Japanese bow or a long bow, maybe, sometimes a blade bow. A shuriken is a ninja star, a ninja weapon, it's kinda like a boomerang, but it can have three blades or more. A war fan, a Japanese strategist favorite, does not have a blade, from what I've heard. A tanto, a Japanese dagger, the size of a knife, but extremely sharp, sometimes sharper than a katana or nodachi, it is also kept in a sheath. Wakizashi is a shorter blade than a katana, since samurai also carry a second. A kama is a sickle blade, which is sometimes used on chain. That's all the japanese weapons I've heard of.
