Spear of Kagi-yari. Japan, Shinshinto (Newest Era) period, 1781-1876 (also called the Late Edo period). The classic yari consists of a shaft (ebu or nagae) to which a tip (ho) is attached. The shaft is 1.8-2.5 m long, in cross section, as a rule, round or multifaceted (rather than oval), made of oak or, more rarely, bamboo. The tips were 15-90 cm long and were xiphoid in shape, fastened with a shank (nakago). They allowed to inflict stabbing and chopping blows. Thanks to these tips, yari can be classified as glaives. Sometimes a metal hadome crosspiece was made 30 cm below the tip. Tsuba was common. For more reliable fastening, the end of the shaft was supplied with a fastening sleeve (habaki) and washers (seppa). At the lower end was an undercurrent (ishizuki) that could be used to strike. The upper part of the shaft was varnished and wrapped with a cord (sen-dan-maki). Kagi-yari is a spear with a hook fixed at the base of the tip pointing forward to capture enemy weapons. Length - 205 cm.

Копье Каги-яри. Япония. Период Edo. 1781-1876 гг.
Копье Каги-яри. Япония, период Shinshinto («Новейшая эра»), 1781-1876 гг (так же называют периодом Позднего Edo).Классическое яри состоит из древка (эбу или нагаэ), к которому крепится наконечник (хо). Древко длиной 1,8—2,5 м, в сечении, как правило, круглое или многогранное (а не овальное), из дуба или, реже — бамбука. Наконечники были длиной 15—90 см и отличались мечевидной формой, крепились с помощью хвостовика (накаго). Они позволяли наносить колющие и рубящие удары. Благодаря таким наконечникам яри могут быть классифицированы, как глефы. Иногда на 30 см ниже наконечника делалась металлическая крестовина хадомэ. Обычной была цуба. Для более надёжного крепления конец древка снабжали крепёжной муфтой (хабаки) и шайбами (сэппа). На нижнем конце был подток (исидзуки), который мог применяться для нанесения ударов. Верхняя часть древка лакировалась и обматывалась шнуром (сэн-дан-маки).Каги-яри же копьё с закреплённым у основания наконечника крюком направленным вперёд для захвата вражеского оружия. Длинна - 205 см.
