Sickles were originally farm tools, but appear in such texts as "Genpei Seisuiki" and "Gikeiki" as weapons called nagigama (long-legged sickles). Documents from the Sengoku period also show sickles being carried on military battlefields, and sickle-jutsu still exists as an ancient Ryukyu martial art. A kusarigama is a sickle weapon with a weighted chain attached, and the sickle is used to attack by swinging the chain and striking the weight against the opponent's body, or wrapping it around the opponent's weapon, hand, or neck, and then knocking the weapon off. The sickle blade is 9 to 30 centimeters long, and the handle is about 20 to 50 centimeters long. It is said to have been invented during the Sengoku period, and was practiced as a martial art in the Edo period. Currently, according to research by the Japanese Kobudo Association, kusarigama-jutsu is passed down in schools such as Tendo-ryu, Jikishinkage-ryu, and Isshin-ryu.

鎌は本来、農具であるが、『源平盛衰記』『義経記』などには武器の薙鎌(なぎがま)として登場する。戦国時代の文書にも軍陣に鎌を携帯することがみえ、琉球(りゅうきゅう)古武術として鎌術が現存している。武器としての鎌に、分銅のある鎖をつけたものが鎖鎌で、鎖を打ち振りつつ分銅を相手の身体に打ち付けたり、相手の武器、手、首に巻き付け、さらに武器を打ち落としたりして、鎌で攻撃する。鎌の刃は9~30センチメートル、柄(え)は20~50センチメートル程度。戦国時代に案出されたともいい、江戸時代は武術の一つとしても行われた。現在、日本古武道協会の調べによると、天道流、直心影流、一心流などに鎖鎌術が伝承されている。 [齋藤愼一] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
