Our Japanese arrowheads (yanone) are faithfully reproduced from
originals in museum collections. Some yanone were strictly utilitarian
while others, like most of these examples, were beautifully pierced and
decorated and used primarily for presentations and temple offerings.
Most pieces fall into one of several broad groupings. The Torii,
Dharma, Monkey Moon and Bamboo Butterfly fall into “Willowleaf”
pattern, while the Swimming Dragon, Watakusi, Sakura and Fudo follow
the Flesh Terror (Barbed) profile. The Karimata, Dragon Cloud, Boar’s
Eye and Tiger Dragon are crafted in what is known as the “Rope Cutter”
style, though it is more likely that this profile was used for hunting
big game rather than cutting ropes. These arrowheads, either singly or
in groups, are outstanding collectibles and conversation pieces. Also
available is the Six Yanone Display Stand to showcase up to 6
arrowheads. |
