Kusari-fundo

Early Modern

Kusari-fundo is a handheld weapon used in feudal Japan, consisting of a length of chain with a weight attached to each end. Its size and shape varied, since no fixed rule governed the construction of these weapons, and it is also known by the names manrikigusari or manriki.
