The {{nihongo|'''sodegarami'''|袖搦}} is a ] used by the ] class and their retainers in feudal Japan. Historically the sodegarami was used as a type of ] around 2 meters in length, with multiple barbed heads, facing forwards and backwards. The pole was sturdy hardwood, reinforced with iron. Small spikes or other sharp protrusions can often be found along the pole, similar to the '']'' and '']''. The sodegarami together with tsukubō and sasumata make up the '']'' (three implements of arresting) used by samurai police. |

==History and description== |
|
The ''sodegarami'' (literally 'sleeve entangler') was used, as its name implies, to entangle the sleeves and clothing of an individual. This could be done to restrain the individual, who could then be more easily disarmed or dealt with. Spines and barbs along the length were there to prevent a criminal from easily grasping the shaft and wresting the implement away from the arresting officer. |

Historically the sodegarami was used as a type of ] around 2 meters in length, with multiple barbed heads, facing forwards and backwards. The pole was sturdy hardwood with sharp metal barbs or spines attached to metal strips on one end to keep the person being captured from grabbing the pole. The opposite end of the pole would have a metal cap, or ''ishizuki'' like those found on ] and other pole weapons. The sodegarami together with '']'' (push pole) and the '']'' (spear fork) comprised the '']'' (three implements of arresting) used by samurai police to capture suspected criminals uninjured.<ref></ref>The ''sodegarami'' was used to entangle the sleeves and clothing of an individual who could then be more easily disarmed or dealt with.<ref></ref> |
