It is also spelled jutte.〔 In Edo period Japan the jitte was a substitute for a badge and represented someone on official business and was carried by all levels of police officers including high-ranking samurai police officials and low-rank samurai law enforcement officers (called ''okappiki'' or ''doshin'').〔Stephen Turnbull, ''The Samurai Swordsman: Master of War'', p.113〕〔Don Cunningham, ''Taiho-Jutsu: Law and Order in the Age of the Samurai'', Tuttle Publishing, 2004; p.65〕 Other high-ranking samurai officials carried a jitte as a badge of office,〔Serge Mol, ''Classical weaponry of Japan: special weapons and tactics of the martial arts'', pp.77–78〕 including hotel, rice and grain inspectors (''aratame'').〔Cunningham, p.72〕〔William E. Deal, ''Handbook to life in medieval and early modern Japan'', pp.166–167〕 The jitte is the subject of the Japanese martial art of ''jittejutsu''.〔Serge Mol, (''Classical weaponry of Japan: special weapons and tactics of the martial arts'' ), Kodansha International, 2003〕 ==Parts of the jitte== 〔Cunningham, p.66〕 〔Daniel C.

Jutte may have more than one ''kagi'' with some ''jitte'' having two or three ''kagi''.〔 *Kikuza (chrysanthemum seat), if the ''kagi'' is attached to the ''boshin'' through a hole in the ''boshin'', the protrusion on the opposite side is called a ''kikuza''. *, the handle of the ''jitte'' which could be left plain, it could also be wrapped or covered with various materials. *, the wrapping on the handle (''tsuka''). Materials such as ray skin ', leather, and cord were used for ''tsukamaki'' on ''jittes''. *, the ring or loop at the pommel of the ''tsuka''. A cord or tassel could be tied to the ''kan''. *, a hand guard present on some types of ''jitte''. *. ''Jitte'' can occasionally be found housed in a sword type case hiding the ''jitte'' from view entirely, this type of ''jitte'' can have the same parts and fittings as a sword including:''seppa'', ''tsuba'', ''menuki'', ''koiguchi'', ''kojiri'', ''nakago'', ''mekugi-ana'' and ''mei''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jitte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
