Hello, I'm new and looking for information and/or pictures of the following weapons:
Chimi (described loosely as a musical plectrum)
Gekken (described as a polearm with a half-moon blade)
Hoko (described as a form of axe)
Two Kama joined by a length of chain or rope.
Mame (a hard bean used as a weapon)
Nata (in Okinawan kobudo I have seen this weapon, which isn't related to the Japanese weapon of the same name, as a form of polearm, and occasionally sword)
Ogo (no data available, other than the name)
Toyei Nobori Kama (also called Toyei-noborigama, described as a polearm with a blade)
Yamakatana (I've seen this described as a straight mountain sword, a weapon resembling the Chinese Nan Dao (no idea), and a blade similar to the Japanese Nata)
Japanese/Okinawan flails, such as the Daijo, Gekigan, Kururi, Suruchin, and Uchibo.
Thanks for any information available on these weapons.
