"The pointy end! Use the POINTY end!"
Almost any village idiot can hold a spear, but it takes skill to realise the true potential of the weapon.
Through years of practice, study and careful contemplation a warrior can learn the spear's secrets and unleash its power. It is also unusual in that the spear's true value is not to be found in the hand of a single warrior, but only when many are so armed. Spear expertise trains many to use the impenetrable and deadly pike square formation, a formidable defensive manoeuvre.
The Seven Spears of Shizugatake was the name given to seven generals who fought for Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the Battle of Shizugatake in 1583. While Kato Kiyomasa was driven to prove himself in battle, others in the group were experienced and ferocious warriors. Fukushima Masanori was noted for killing his opponent Haigo Gozaemon, a famous samurai, by driving a spear right through his body. And just to be awkward, there was an eighth spear, Ishikawa Heisuke, but he died in the battle.
