Jutte mounted in koshirae

[estcrh]

I have no idea how old this unusual jutte is. Has anyone seen any other jute like this...I would like to see any pictures of other juttes or similar types of weapons. http://s831.photobucket.com/albums/zz238/estcrh/Samurai%20jutte/

Hi Eric,

The only other eample I have seen is pictured in " Stone's ... Glossary of the Construction Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor ", page 325. For anyone who does not have this fine old book, ... you are missing out on an excellent general reference bible of arms and armor. It would seem Mr. Stone had a particular passion of Japanese Arms and Armor as virtually every page has some Japanese references.

Regards, ... Ron Watson

Stone's Glossary is an essential visual dictionary for those of us who like sharp pointy things and other tools for bludgeoning and bashing. I try to keep a copy or two in stock at all times.

 

For jutte, look for Don Cunningham's "Secret Weapons of Jujutsu" published by Tuttle in 2002. Don used to live in the Chicago area and had quite a collection, and had also spent quite a bit of time in Japan researching all manner of "police" weapons and tools for disarming and restraining. I don't have this book in stock at the moment, but inexpensive copies are not hard to find, and I'm always glad to help tracking down books.

Craig, Don Cunningham did some excellent research, I use his books for reference a lot. I purchased this kusari gama from him a while back, a photo of it was used in one of his books " Samurai Weapons Tools of the Warrior "
