👉 The Toshiba is a traditional Japanese throwing weapon, primarily used by samurai during the Edo period. It consists of a wooden shaft with a metal head, often made from iron or steel, attached via a leather cord. The Toshiba is designed for throwing over long distances, making it particularly effective for hunting and defensive purposes. Samurai would typically throw the Toshiba at enemies from a distance, aiming to incapacitate or kill them without engaging in close combat. Its lightweight yet durable construction and the ability to deliver powerful strikes contributed to its effectiveness in battle.
