Japan To-do:

Tried to add this to the category "Weapons of Japan", and it went into several categories that included things like "Japanese Tools." I appear to have eliminated it as a tool, but this page is still not in the right category!

[edit] Confusion

There appears to be some confusion between a shobo and the tekko. The tekko is a traditional Okinowan weapon made by bending a shank of metal and putting a bolt in it to form a sort of brass knuckle. The Shobo appears to be similar, a sort of martial arts specific brass knuckle. The shobo appears to be the "T" shaped weapon with the 'upright' of the T forming a ring for the finger, which could then be used for punching.
