There is the important figure who passes 200 kg unusually. The forefoot of the sharp nail throws down the cow and horse with the shot. It is the Honshu sole wild beast.

(The action of) that the expulsion role, gun of the game do not hold Seko by the signal of Mukaimatte begins. Mukaimatte able to become "Seko, from the position where winds and be able to expect the mountain and game well-, it able to become-" I signal that. "So-rea, so-rea" that crying out and Seko is linked to the expulsion of the game while. Although line up in a line and corner the lay of the land is a serious job because it is not uniform.

"Syoubu" and the Matagi that got the bear signals. Mukaimatte signals to "Syoubu, Syoubu" and everyone furthermore, that a bear is finished capturing. When this voice is linked everyone centers take on in the place of a game and and taking exchange the greeting as "merit congratulation". Removing the remainder ball of the gun I set up all the guns toward a mountain.

�@The weapon of the old Matagi was bow and arrows and the spear. The bow and arrows were taken the place for the Edo period, match gun and the spear, although the Matagi carried it without fail until the prewar days. Although the gun was to the farmer prohibited goods at that time, it is permitted special that gets the heart and fur of the bear only to the Matagi to, the condition and was used in, an Edo period latter period. Also, the Satake feudal clan which attached on the side of a few government army also in the northeast, in last days of Tokugawa shogunate attaches the eye to the marksmanship of the Matagi and install to the military force of a feudal clan and reinforced the armaments. The Matagi group that was named a new set be a large activity with) is (be in 1868 the Bosinn war. I have come to have a match gun openly hereafter.
