Shuriken
A shuriken, also known as throwing stars' or ninja stars, is a type of Japanese concealed weapon that was commonly used as a hidden weapon or as a tools with the purpose of causing distraction. It was a staple amongst the samurai and ninja during the Feudal period.
In addition to being wielded by the Japanese, shurikens were also occasionally carried by guards of the Ming dynasty in the 16th century.[1]
In 1725, the British Assassin had shurikens thrown at him by Shimazu ninja during his time pursuing a Piece of Eden lead in Macau.[2]
