Battles and Weaponry in Ancient and Medieval Japan
"Battles and Weaponry in Ancient and Medieval Japan"
Heiseikan Japanese Archaeology Gallery September 22, 2021 (Wed) - March 21, 2022 (Mon)
Grenade, Found at Takashima Kōzaki Site, Nagasaki, Kamakura period, 13th century
Few of the metal weapons created in ancient and medieval Japan have survived to present day, excluding those preserved as heirlooms. As a result, metal weapons unearthed during excavations are valuable finds. This section of the gallery compares ancient Japanese weapons with a Mongolian ceramic grenade, which was used by the Mongolian armada during the Mongol invasions of the late 13th century.
