The image shows Yayoi period hoko (銅矛) while the intro says "thought to be from the Nara period". Which is correct? As far as I understand, the hoko in the image are ritual weapons not suitable for combat. The article seems to mention only combat use spears. I don't know anything about Nara period hoko or hoko for combat (I don't doubt that those might have existed). bamse ( talk) 09:39, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
