Jitte (weapon)
Jitte is a type of weapon that was used a long time ago in Japan. It's like a stick with a curve on the end, kind of like a hook. People who used the jitte were usually police officers or other authority figures.
The jitte was used to catch and disarm bad guys who were doing something they weren't supposed to be doing. The curve on the end of the jitte could grab onto things like swords or other weapons that the bad guy might have had, which made it easier to take them away.
Sometimes, the jitte was also used for defending oneself if someone else tried to attack them. But it was mostly used for catching weapons from the bad guys.
Today, the jitte is not used very often anymore, and it's mostly just seen in museums or as part of historical reenactments. But it's still interesting to learn about how people used to protect themselves and others in the past.
