A rack of Japanese tanegashima (matchlocks) of the Edo period, Himeji Castle, Japan.
Firearms were introduced to Japan in the 13th century during the first Mongol invasion, referred to as teppō.[1] Portuguese firearms were introduced in 1543,[2] and intense development followed, with strong local manufacture during the period of conflicts of the late 16th century. Hōjutsu, the art of gunnery, is the Japanese martial art dedicated to firearms usage.
