Archery, TIGER DRAGON YANONE Japanese arrow head

Our Japanese arrowheads (yanone) are faithfully reproduced from originals in museum collections. Some yanone were strictly utilitarian while others, like most of these examples, were beautifully pierced and decorated and used primarily for presentations and temple offerings. These arrowheads, either singly or in groups, are outstanding collectibles and conversation pieces.

Most pieces fall into one of several broad groupings.
