This week I add entries for three older police weapons collectively known as the torimono sandôgu.
sasumata (spear fork) 刺股
sodegarami (sleeve entangler) 袖搦
tsukubo (push pole) 突棒
When I did the first volume of the Anime Companion such older weapons were almost never seen in anime and manga as there were less than ten titles which took place before World War Two. With the large number of titles since there there are a considerable number set in that time period, mainly before 1900.
