Throwing Stars: A Nod to Japanese Martial Tradition
Shuriken, also known as throwing stars, are traditional Japanese weapons historically utilized by samurai and ninjas. Among the many forms of shuriken, the hira-shuriken, or shaken, stands out for its flat design and multiple branches—often four—with a central hole. This hole allowed for easy carrying by threading them onto a cord or stick while enhancing their aerodynamics during a throw. Historically, these tools were employed to distract, injure, or disarm opponents and were integral to Japanese martial arts training.
Inspired by this tradition, this 4-branch throwing star offers an authentic experience for martial arts enthusiasts and admirers of Japanese culture.
