The most common chain weapon. the kusarigama is particularly popular with samurai of the Mautis Clan. It is essemially a kama (see Knives) attached at the base of the handle to a length of chain roughly five to six feet long. The other end of the chain is attached to a weight, typically a metal cylinder or sphere.

This is the basic bow carried by infantry archers. and by samurai who travel independently of armies or other large groups. It is a powerful bow, although not quite as powerful as the dai-kyu, but its curvature makes it inconvenient to use on horseback.
