The kusarigama (chain-sickle) is a traditional Japanese weapon that is made up of two parts. The first is the kama, which is the Japanese equivalent of a sickle and the second being the kasari-fundo, which literally means chain weight. The weapon was used by swinging the chain in a circular motion and using it to entangle the opponent and their weapon, before charging them down and striking with the sickle.
