I recently acquired a huge yanagi-ba arrow head (45,3 cm or 17 7/8" from tip to the end of tang). The arrow head is very nice with sakura design in sugashi-bori. Usually these arrow heads are much smaller and I don't think that it can be used for shooting. Does anybody know for what purposes these arrow heads were made. Were they made for presentation only? I did not find very much about yanone in the Internet but maybe someone can recommend some books or links for further information.
