Descrição
In Rokugani folklore, tales abound of samurai who, unable to procure their weapon, instead defended themselves with a wooden boat oar. The Rokugani boat oar is made from sturdy, lacquered wood. It has a relatively short shaft and a long, flat paddle with a rounded tip. Due to the top-heavy weight distribution, it is generally wielded with two hands, as one might wield a naginata or nagamaki. A typical use of a boat oar in combat is to present the broad side to the opponent so as to shield oneself and catch the assailant’s blade; once that blade is embedded in the wood, the oar is cast aside, wrenching the sword from the assailant’s hands.
