Tanjō

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tanjō (短杖?) is a short Japanese walking stick also known as tambō. It is used as a weapon of self-defence in the martial art tanjōjutsu. When the tanjō was still used as an actual walking stick its length varied from person to person. The modern day tanjō, however, is usually fixed at around 90 cm.
