Norimitsu Odachi ndi lupanga lalitali mamita 3.77 lochokera ku Japan lolemera makilogalamu 14.5. Anthu ambiri asiyidwa osokonezeka ndi chida chachikulu ichi, kufunsa mafunso ngati mwini wake anali ndani? Nanga msilikali amene anali kugwiritsa ntchito lupangalo pomenya nkhondo anali wamkulu motani?
Ndi yayikulu kwambiri, mwakuti akuti idagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi chimphona. Kuphatikiza pa chidziwitso chazomwe zidapangidwa mzaka za zana la 15 AD, kutalika kwake ndi 3.77 mita (12.37 ft.), Ndikulemera pafupifupi 14.5 kg (31.97 lbs.), Lupanga lochititsa chidwi ili lakutidwa chinsinsi.
Mbiri ya ōdachi
Anthu a ku Japan amadziwika ndi luso lawo lopanga lupanga. Mitundu yambiri yamasamba idapangidwa ndi osula malupanga aku Japan, koma mwina anthu omwe masiku ano amadziwa bwino ndi katana chifukwa chogwirizana ndi Samurai yotchuka. Komabe, palinso mitundu ina ya malupanga osadziwika omwe adapangidwa mzaka mazana ambiri mu Japan, imodzi mwa iyo ndi ōdachi.
Odachi (yolembedwa monga Alirezatalischi mu kanji, ndikumasuliridwa ngati a 'lupanga lalikulu kapena lalikulu'), Nthawi zina amatchedwa Nodachi (yolembedwa mu kanji monga Alirezatalischi, ndikumasulira kuti 'lupanga lakumunda') ndi mtundu wa lupanga lalitali laku Japan. Tsamba la ōdachi ndi lopindika, ndipo nthawi zambiri limakhala ndi masentimita 90 mpaka 100 (pafupifupi mainchesi 35 mpaka 39). Ma ōdachisi ena adalembedwa kuti anali ndi masamba omwe anali 2 mita (6.56 ft.) Kutalika.
Ōdachi amadziwika kuti inali imodzi mwazida zosankhika pankhondo pankhondo ya Nthawi ya Nanboku-chō, yomwe idatenga gawo lalikulu la zaka za zana la 14 AD. Munthawi imeneyi, ma odach omwe adapangidwa amalemba kuti anali atadutsa mita imodzi. Chida ichi, komabe, sichinasangalale patangopita nthawi yochepa, chifukwa chachikulu chinali chakuti sichinali chida chothandiza kugwiritsa ntchito pankhondo. Komabe, odachi idapitilizidwabe ndi ankhondo ndipo kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwake kudangofa mu 1615, kutsatira Osaka Natsu no Jin (yemwenso amadziwika kuti Siege of Osaka), pomwe Tokugawa Shogunate idawononga banja la Toyotomi.
Pali njira zingapo zomwe odachi mwina idagwiritsidwira ntchito pankhondo. Zowongoka kwambiri ndikuti amangogwiritsidwa ntchito ndi asirikali oyenda pansi. Izi zitha kupezeka m'mabuku olemba monga Heike Monogatari (otanthauziridwa ngati 'Nkhani ya Heike') ndi Taiheiki (lotembenuzidwa ngati 'Mbiri Yamtendere Waukulu'). Msirikali wapamtunda wokhala ndi odachi atha kumenyedwa lupanga kumbuyo kwake, m'malo moyenda pambali pake, chifukwa cha kutalika kwake kwapadera. Izi, komabe, zidapangitsa kuti wankhondoyo asatenge tsamba mwachangu.
Kapenanso, odachi mwina atangonyamula ndi dzanja. Munthawi ya Muromachi (yomwe idayamba kuyambira zaka za m'ma 14 mpaka 16 AD), zinali zachilendo kuti wankhondo wanyamula odachi akhale ndi wosunga yemwe angamuthandize kutengera chida chake. N'kutheka kuti odachi anali ndi ankhondo omwe amamenyanso atakwera pamahatchi.
Amanenanso kuti, popeza odachi inali chida chovuta kugwiritsa ntchito, sichinagwiritsidwe ntchito ngati chida chomenyera. M'malo mwake, akanatha kugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mtundu wankhondo, mofanana ndi momwe mbendera ikanagwiritsidwira ntchito pankhondo. Kuphatikiza apo, zawonetsedwa kuti odachi adatenga gawo lina lamwambo.
Mwachitsanzo, munthawi ya Edo, zinali zotchuka kuti odachi azigwiritsidwa ntchito pamwambo. Kupatula apo, odachis nthawi zina amaikidwa m'malo opembedzera achi Shinto ngati nsembe kwa milungu. Odachi iyenera kuti inkagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chiwonetsero cha maluso a malupanga, popeza sinali vuto kupanga.
Kodi Norimitsu Odachi anali wothandiza kapena wokongola?
Ponena za Norimitsu Odachi, ena amakonda lingaliro loti adagwiritsidwa ntchito moyenera, chifukwa chake ndiogwiritsa ntchito ayenera kuti anali chimphona. Kulongosola kosavuta kwa lupanga lapaderali ndikuti limagwiritsidwa ntchito pazinthu zosagwirizana.
Kupanga kwa tsamba lalitali modabwitsa koteroko kukadatheka kokha m'manja mwa wosula maluso waluso kwambiri. Chifukwa chake, ndizomveka kuti a Norimitsu Odachi adangopangidwira kuwonetsa kuthekera kwa osula malupanga. Kuphatikiza apo, munthu yemwe adalamula Norimitsu Odachi mwina akadakhala wolemera kwambiri, chifukwa zikadawononga ndalama zambiri kuti apange chinthu choterocho.
