Where can you purchase a Timbei?

[hempev]

@Hellfireblogs I have no idea - it could just as easily be a machete.

Well there you go. I'd always been perplexed by how the Japanese never seem to have had a system involving a shield. But now I know they had at least one.

I'd be interested in comparing this with I.33 (European sword and buckler) and rotella... Maybe in a bout.

@SamGCampbell This isn't Japanese, it's Okinawan, where weapons were illegal - the "shield" was anything of the right shape, and the halberd was originally for clearing brush.

@pochazet

The issue which a Westerner sometimes makes a mistake is next thing.

Refine culture and "to be finished as tradition" is different at all with "merelly refine culture"

Japan got material of culture from China at the past,

but Japanese people let those evolve as "Japanese original culture" after several hundred years.

Therefore, Ryukyu has original culture completely different from China and Korea.

Tradition culture is different at all from a "simple curio" or culture material．

@pochazet The folks in true denial are in Korean martial arts - 30 years of brutal Japanese occupation means they aren't likely to admit the truth of *anything* originally from Japan.

@GaolisVideoLog Before the 20th Century, the kara in karate could also mean "T'ang Dynasty China". Some things are purely Okinawan, some are from China, but the Okinawans learning these were farmers and fishermen who spent most of their lives growing or gathering their livelihood and were not allowed to practice these arts openly, so teaching was different from that of monks and warriors who didn't have to hide from the authorities.
