[edit] Oni picture

Is the picture really of an oni with a tetsubo? It looks an awful lot like a studded club and not a staff to me. --maru (talk) contribs 02:29, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy

A "kanabō" ("金棒" or (rarely) "鉄棒") as a weapon is usually not called "tetsubō" in Japanese, is it? A "鉄棒" ("tetsubō") is an iron bar in general or a horizontal bar. I'm not sure about in English language though. Mulukhiyya 15:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I redirected the title and edited the page. --Oda Mari 05:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legend of the Five Rings

It is highly doubtful that the paragraph about the tetsubo in "Legend of the Five Rings" belongs in an encyclopaedia article at all. It certainly needs context. I have made an interim attempt to provide this, but something more definite is required. I suggest deleting the information as trivial. Agemegos (talk) 22:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
