Longbow, 19th century, Unknown Japanese, 84 × 1 3/4 × 9 1/2 in. (213.36 × 4.45 × 24.13 cm), Laminated lacquered bamboo, Japan, 19th century, Although the sword is the iconic weapon of the samurai, mastery of the longbow was also a highly regarded skill, and expert archers were the stuff of legends. Longbows were the main weapon during the Heian (7841185) and Kamakura (11851333) periods and became formally accepted as a military weapon in 1252. During battle, samurai first shot arrows from horseback before they resorted to sword fighting. In the 1300s, long swords and spears became the weapons of choice for the main offensive, and guns were subsequently introduced in the early 1500s. Archery eventually evolved into a more formal and ceremonial tradition.
