Medieval Japanese warfare is a very interesting part of Japan's history. It includes all the different weapons including hand-held weapons such as the katana, or ranged weapons such as the bow or a shuriken. Other parts of medieval Japanese warfare include the samurai, who were the warriors who fought in the battles, and government which controlled all aspects of Japanese warfare.
