Hoko yari
Hoko yari is an ancient form of Japanese spear or ''yari'' said to be based on a Chinese spear.〔(''Japan and China: Japan, its history, arts, and literature'', Frank Brinkley, T. C. & E. C. Jack, 1903 p.156 )〕 The hoko yari came into use sometime between the Yayoi period and the Heian period,〔(''Samurai, Warfare and the State in Early Medieval Japan Warfare and History Samurai Warfare & the State in Early Medieval Japan'', Author Karl F. FridayPublisher Psychology Press, 2004 ISBN 0-415-32962-0, ISBN 978-0-415-32962-0 P.85 )〕 possibly during the Nara period.〔(''The Japanese swordVolume 12 of Japanese arts library'', Author Kanzan Satō, Photographs by Joe Earle, Translated by Joe Earle, Contributor Joe Earle, Edition illustrated, Publisher Kodansha International, 1983, ISBN 0-87011-562-6, ISBN 978-0-87011-562-2 P.63 )〕
==Appearance and use==
The ''hoko yari'' was thought to be a guard's spear used in the defense of palisades and gates. One source describes ''hoko yari'' as being mounted on a six-foot pole and with an eight-inch blade, either in a leaf shape or with a wavy edge similar to the Malay ''kris''. Like the later-period ''fukuro yari'', the metal blade had a hollow socket for the pole to fit into, rather than a long tang.〔(''Modern Japanese swords and swordsmiths: from 1868 to the present'', Leon Kapp, Hiroko Kapp, Yoshindo Yoshihara, Kodansha International, 2002 p.18 )〕 ''Hoko yari'' could also have a sickle-shaped horn projecting out and slightly forward on one or both sides of the blade, indicating that this weapon was primarily used to thrust back an enemy.〔(''Japan and China: Japan, its history, arts, and literature'', Frank Brinkley, T. C. & E. C. Jack, 1903 p.156 )〕
