By the year 1600 many Ashigaru were heavily equipped with ‘Tanegashima’, Japanese-made matchlock arquebuses introduced into Japan by Portuguese traders in 1543. These weapons revolutionized warfare allowing lower-class Ashigaru to train and destroy heavily armed cavalry or Samurai.Within a few short years arquebus-armed ashigaru far outnumbered the older, traditional archers leading from a two-to-one ratio at the time of Sekigahara to a four-to-one ratio in later periods. Archers however still had one distinctive advantage… They could fire, reload and fire once more much faster!Our Ashigaru Arquebusier is loaded and ready to fire.
