The spear of Hattori Hanzo
#1
I am unsure of where to post this but... I am looking for a picture of Hattori Hanzo's spear. It is housed in a monastery (don't know the name) in Japan and I can't find a picture anywhere. I have read about it and I have never seen an Image anywhere of it. I wonder if anyone here might have or know of something,Thanks!

This site claims to have a photo of Hanzo's favorite spear (yari).

Everything I have read places his spear and helmet (kabuto) at Sainen-ji, a temple located in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo.

Is this a photo of the actual spear? I have not been to Tokyo so I can not say -- I will keep looking but there does seem to be a dearth of photos.

That is the most I have ever gotten! Thanks. I hope to one day go there and see it for myself but as of yet I am here. Sainen-Ji sounds familiar; I wish I could remember the book I read about it in. Again, thank you!
