About this episode

This episode explores the ancient Japanese technique of stone-throwing known as tosekigi jutsu, highlighting its historical significance and practical use.

Long before steel blades and lacquered armor, the simplest weapon of humankind was the stone. In Ancient Japan, villagers and hunters relied on the hand-sling — woven from hemp, silk cord, or leather — to protect crops, frighten animals. And hunt small birds. The term toseki (投石) means “to throw stones,” and from this grew tosekigi jutsu, the technique of stone-throwing. It was not a noble weapon, but one born from necessity.
