When we consider the change of ancient weapons, it is one of the important factors whether they are practical or not. To test it, I made a bow and arrows, which had been main offensive arms, based upon the archaeological remains excavated from mounded tombs, and actually shot them. As a result, they proved to be practical enough in battle. Since Yayoi period, offensive arms and defensive armors were used as actual fighting equipment, and went through changes influencing each other.It was the wooden cuirasses that were adopted first to protect the body against the attack. Then, in the 4th century, the arrows equipped with a heavy iron arrowhead were developed to break the wooden defensive equipment. From the end of the 4th century to the 5th century, the iron armors came to be widely used.In the first half of the 5th century, new forms of battle equipment were introduced. They were socketed pikes, iron arrowheads with long joint of tang, quivers, scale armors and so on. These were originally the equipment for the troopers and it is considered that their origins are in the area from the northern part of Korea to the northeast district of China. They were brought to Japan by way of Korea. But, as unearthed horse armors were very rare in Japan, it seems that there were few battles by the troopers.As the reason for these changes of weapons, it will be possible to point out not only the domestic battles to unify a state but also relations with eastern Asia.

当我们考虑古代武器的变化时，无论它们是否实用，这都是重要因素之一。为了测试它，我根据考古学遗物从丘陵墓中发掘出来，弓箭是主要进攻臂的弓箭，实际上将它们射击。结果，他们在战斗中被证明足够实用。自Yayoi时期以来，进攻性的武器和防守装甲被用作实际的战斗设备，并经历了彼此影响的变化。它是首先采用的木制胸甲，以保护人体免受袭击。然后，在4世纪，配备了重型铁箭头的箭头被开发出来打破木制防御设备。从4世纪末到5世纪，铁装甲被广泛使用。在5世纪上半叶，引入了新形式的战斗设备。它们是插座的派克，铁箭头，带有长长的唐，烤架，秤盔甲等。这些最初是士兵的设备，被认为它们的起源是从韩国北部到中国东北地区的地区。他们是通过韩国带到日本的。但是，由于在日本发现的马盔甲非常罕见，因此士兵似乎很少发生战斗。这是武器发生变化的原因，不仅可以指出，不仅可以指出国内战斗以统一国家的关系，而且还可以指出与东亚的关系。
